Definitions
- the present invention relates to a coincidence determination method and apparatus in a PET apparatus, which extracts a true coincidence from previously discarded multiple coincidences, improves detection sensitivity when the radioactivity concentration is high, and also has a dynamic range.
- the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for determining the timepiece in a PET apparatus that can be improved.
- the coincidence counting method (Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2) used in the PET apparatus is used to convert a pair of annihilation radiations 14 detected within a very short time of several nanoseconds into the same positron nuclide. This is a detection method that considers the true coincidence generated from 12.
- 10 is a subject to be examined such as a patient
- 20 is a detector ring in which a plurality of radiation detectors (hereinafter also simply referred to as detectors) 22 constituting a PET apparatus are arranged on the circumference, for example.
- a coincidence circuit 28 for determining coincidence at a certain time is a data storage device for storing coincidence count data.
- the time width (simultaneous counting time width) for determining the positron nuclide is determined from the temporal resolution and visual field size of the PET apparatus.
- the coincidence time width is also limited by the position where the positron nuclide exists and the ring diameter of the detected detector, and if it is about 4 nanoseconds or less, it limits the field of view that can be imaged by existing clinical PET devices. .
- the sensitivity of the device is limited by limiting the position on the coincidence line using information by the time-of-flight difference (Time-of-Flight, hereinafter referred to as TOF) of a pair of annihilation radiations.
- TOF time-of-Flight
- a TOF-PET apparatus that can improve the above has been developed.
- the current time resolution of about 500 picoseconds has not dramatically improved the sensitivity of the apparatus.
- the coincidence method determines positron nuclides within a finite time, in addition to the true coincidence shown in FIG. 1, annihilation radiation from different positron nuclides as shown in FIG. 2A is simultaneously detected. Coincidental coincidence or scattering coincidence as exemplified in FIG. 2B occurs. The higher the radioactivity concentration is, the higher the proportion of coincidence coincidence is. However, as illustrated in FIG. In FIG. 3A, two pairs of annihilation radiations (T 1 , T 2 ) and (T 3 , T 4 ) are generated from two positron nuclides, and three detectors detect within the coincidence time width. For example, FIG.
- FIG. 3B shows three pairs of annihilation radiations (T 1 , T 2 ), (T 3 , T 4 ), and (T 5 , T 6 ) generated from three positron nuclides, and the simultaneous counting time width
- FIG. 3C shows an example in which three detectors detect, two pairs of annihilation radiations (T 1 , T 2 ) and (T 3 , T 4 ) generated from two positron nuclides
- FIG. 3D shows an example in which four detectors detect within the time width
- FIG. 3D shows three pairs of annihilation radiations (T 1 , T 2 ), (T 3 , T 4 ), (T 5 ) from three positron nuclides.
- T 6 occurs, and four detectors detect within the coincidence time width.
- the PET apparatus sets a field of view at the center of the detector ring and does not collect coincidence lines that pass outside the field of view. Therefore, in FIG. 3, coincidence between neighboring detectors is invalidated. 3 is 2 in FIG. 3A, 2 in FIG. 3B, 4 in FIG. 3C, and 3 in FIG. 3D.
- Patent Document 1 Non-Patent Document 3
- a true coincidence can be analytically extracted in principle, but a CZT detector or the like is not yet in practical use as a PET detector, and only the event that is Compton scattered in the detector. Since it is not available, the events that can be used are considerably limited, that is, the sensitivity of the detector is low.
- the multiple coincidence that detects a plurality of coincidences within the coincidence time width has not been effectively used. Discarding all the multiple coincidence results in a reduction in detection sensitivity when the radioactivity concentration is high, causing a reduction in image quality. In addition, if the radioactivity concentration becomes very high, the rate of multiple coincidence increases, which causes the dynamic range of the PET apparatus to be narrowed. Further, the multiple coincidence is composed of only the noise components of the scattered coincidence and the accidental coincidence, or three or more coincidence counts are detected as illustrated in FIG. 3, and variations thereof are very complicated.
- the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems.
- the true simultaneous count is extracted from the multiple simultaneous count that has been discarded in the past, and the detection sensitivity when the radioactivity concentration is high is improved and the dynamic count is increased.
- the challenge is to contribute to improving the range.
- priority is set by a very simple method from radioactivity distribution and information at the time of detection, and coincidence lines to be collected are determined.
- coincidence determination method in a PET apparatus that counts a pair of annihilation radiations detected within a predetermined time period as if they were generated from the same nuclide.
- the priorities of the coincidence lines to be collected are set using information relating to the detection time difference, and the true coincidence count is extracted from the multiple coincidence counts, thereby solving the above problem. It is a thing.
- the coincidence count having the smallest detection time difference can be determined as a true coincidence count and extracted.
- a simultaneous count having a detection time difference smaller than a threshold value can be determined as a true simultaneous count and extracted.
- the threshold value can be made variable.
- one coincidence line closest to the center of the visual field can be selected.
- one coincidence line with the highest total detected energy can be selected.
- the present invention also includes a plurality of radiation detectors for detecting radiation generated from the nuclide, Means for detecting the detection time of radiation in each radiation detector; Means for determining coincidence when a difference in detection time by a plurality of radiation detectors is within a predetermined time; When a plurality of coincidence counts are detected within the predetermined time, using the information on the detection time difference, setting the priority of the coincidence line to be collected, and means for extracting the true coincidence from the multiple coincidence,
- a coincidence determination apparatus in a PET apparatus characterized by comprising:
- the true coincidence count is extracted from the previously discarded multiple coincidence count, thereby improving the detection sensitivity when the radioactivity concentration is high and contributing to the improvement of the dynamic range.
- the present invention can be applied as it is to the current PET device having a high degree of time resolution, but is particularly effective in an ultrasensitive PET device (such as a whole body simultaneous imaging PET device) having a long ring length and a short ring diameter. It is considered to be appropriate.
- the figure which shows the conventional simultaneous counting judgment method The figure which shows the example of (A) incidental coincidence and (B) scattering coincidence Diagram showing an example of multiple coincidence Flow chart showing conventional coincidence determination processing
- Time chart showing an example of multiple coincidence determination according to the first and second embodiments The flowchart which shows the simultaneous count determination processing by 3rd Embodiment of this invention.
- the figure which shows the result of having simulated the relation between the ratio of the radioactivity concentration and the multiple coincidence count for every detector ring length The figure which shows the result of simulating the relation between the radioactivity concentration and the ratio of the true coincidence included in the multiple coincidence for each detector ring length
- the figure which shows the result of having simulated the relation between radioactivity concentration and true coincidence rate for every multiple coincidence judgment method The figure which shows the result of having simulated the relation between the radioactivity concentration and the coincidence coincidence rate for each multiple coincidence judgment method
- the true coincidence tends to be distributed near the center of the visual field, and the accidental coincidence is uniformly distributed in the visual field.
- most of the noise components in the multiple coincidence are considered to be accidental coincidences. Therefore, if a coincidence count with a small detection time difference is selected, it is considered that the probability of a true coincidence is high.
- the first embodiment of the present invention has been made paying attention to such points, and as shown in FIG. 5, when it is determined that multiple simultaneous counting is performed in step 110 similar to the conventional method of FIG.
- the coincidence event is sent to step 120, and the difference in detection time is calculated.
- the coincidence count having the shortest time difference is determined as a true coincidence count and extracted.
- the processing is relatively simple.
- the process proceeds to step 140 and a coincidence line whose detection time difference is smaller than a predetermined threshold is extracted.
- the predetermined threshold needs to be shorter than the simultaneous counting time width of step 110, for example, set to 1/3 (2 nanoseconds) of the simultaneous counting time width (for example, 6 nanoseconds), or the counting rate It can be made variable according to. For example, when the count rate is high, the threshold is made shorter than when the count rate is low. Note that reducing the coincidence time width of step 110 from the beginning to about the threshold value of step 140 makes it impossible to detect annihilation radiation generated from a position away from the center of the detector ring, and narrows the field of view. This is not desirable.
- FIG. 7 shows an example in which the first embodiment and the second embodiment are applied to the multiplex coincidence in FIG.
- FIG. 3A that includes one true coincidence and one coincidence coincidence (before performing the out-of-field determination)
- the first embodiment always selects one coincidence line
- the determination is incorrect in the case of FIG. 3B that does not include true coincidence or the case of FIG. 3C that includes many true coincidences.
- the second embodiment there is a possibility that a true coincidence can be calculated even in the patterns of FIGS. 3B and 3C.
- the number of events to be determined is not limited to one, but it is considered that there is a low probability that a plurality of true coincidence counts are detected within multiple coincidence counts in practical radioactivity intensity.
- an accidental coincidence count that is a detection time difference comparable to a true coincidence detection time difference cannot be identified.
- the true coincidence has a higher probability that the detected energy is higher than the scattering coincidence shown in FIG. 2B, as in the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. If a plurality of coincidence lines are calculated by the threshold determination, the energy is calculated for each coincidence line in step 160, and one coincidence line with the highest detected energy is selected in step 170, whereby true It can be considered that the probability of extracting the coincidence count of can be increased.
- This device constitutes a detector ring having a ring diameter of 84 cm using a block detector in which LSO scintillators having a thickness of 2.9 ⁇ 2.9 ⁇ 20 mm are arrayed.
- a cylindrical phantom having a diameter of 20 cm and a length of 1 m was installed in the center of the ring.
- the time resolution of the detector was 600 picoseconds, and the coincidence time width was 6 nanoseconds.
- FIG. 10 is a ratio of multiple coincidence counts for each radioactivity intensity by three types of PET devices having a ring length of 64 cm, 15 cm, and 130 cm. The ratio of multiple coincidence increases as the radioactivity intensity and the ring length increase.
- FIG. 11 shows the ratio of true coincidence included in multiple coincidence. It does not depend much on the ring length, and the proportion of true coincidence is reduced depending on the radioactivity intensity.
- the threshold in the second embodiment that is, the second simultaneous counting time width is 2 nanoseconds.
- the random selection mentioned here as a comparison method is a case where one coincidence line is selected at random from multiple coincidence events.
- FIG. 14 shows noise equivalent counts (NECR) when several multiple coincidence determination methods are applied.
- NECR is a guideline for evaluating effective counting characteristics in consideration of the ratio of components that can be regarded as noise such as coincidence coincidence in a cylindrical phantom, and is frequently used when evaluating the performance of a PET apparatus. (See SC Strother, ME Casey, EJ Hoffman,, IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci., Vol. 37, 783-788, 1990).
- T is the true coincidence rate
- S is the scattering coincidence rate
- R is the random coincidence rate
- the multiple coincidence determination method can be a major elemental technology for realizing an ultra-sensitive PET apparatus.
