[Castor-users] SPECT reconstruction with non-constant distance camera surface to COR

[Jafargholi Rangraz Esmaeel]

Dear Castor Developers and users,

I hope this email finds you well. I am trying to reconstruct SPECT imaging acquired by the Siemens Symbia gamma camera. In the SPECT acquisition, the distance between camera head and centre of rotation was not constant for all projection angles. In castor input file, I provided this information using "Distance camera surface to COR" as described in the Castor Manual. The result was unexpected (visible misplacement of activity is visible; see arrow in the attached image for NEMA phantom with 5 hot spheres).

I tried to reconstruct again the data with a constant camera distance using "Global distance camera surface to COR" with the value equal to the distance of the first projection angle and the results were identical with the above mentioned reconstruction. So, I assume the way that I provide camera to COR distance is not appropriate. I am wondering if someone could help me to resolve this issue.
