Abstract

In this paper we discuss the potentialities of a time-coded single photon emissive imaging system for thyroid tomography. We have performed three-dimensional simulation studies in order to answer two questions: 1) does this coded aperture device produce good quality reconstructions, and 2) can the reconstruction be carried out sufficiently fast on a microcomputer. Our study leads to the conclusion that both questions can be answered affirmatively. Hence, time-coded emission tomography is a potentially useful imaging technique for diagnostic clinical practice.
