Bone SPECT of the Spine: A Comparison of Attenuation Correction Techniques

Image artifacts from variable self-attenuation are recognized as major sources of diagnostic uncertainty in SPECT. For myocardial perfusion studies, an attenuation map is often obtained from a separate transmission study. However, for many applications such as bone SPECT, it has been believed to be...
