| Abstract |
Currently nuclear medicine is a high-tech field. Its development requires solutions of problems related both to the improvement of hardware and computer processing of the information obtained in the course of study. The basic types of hardware of nuclear medicine are gamma cameras and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET) and hybrid scanners (SPECT/CT, PET/ CT). The methods of SPECT data processing include analysis of static, dynamic, tomographic and ECG-gated images. The PET data reconstruction software restores the three-dimensional distribution of the radiopharmaceutical in the body. Performance of iterative methods increases with the use of modern graphics processors. Three-dimensional imaging allows a detailed analysis of the study area. The software also implements a fusion imaging of SPECT/CT, PET/CT scans performed in the same coordinate system. An application of data flow model in medical software development is considered. Web-based imaging front-end of storage and processing system is presented.
