SPECTAttenuationTransform

obj2obj transform used to model the effects of attenuation in SPECT. This transform accepts either an attenuation_map (which must be aligned with the SPECT projection data) or a filepath consisting of folder containing CT DICOM files all pertaining to the same scan

SPECTPSFTransform

obj2obj transform used to model the effects of PSF blurring in SPECT. The smoothing kernel used to apply PSF modeling uses a Gaussian kernel with width \(\sigma\) dependent on the distance of the point to the detector; that information is specified in the SPECTPSFMeta parameter. There are a few potential arguments to initialize this transform (i) psf_meta, which contains relevant collimator information to obtain a Gaussian PSF model that works for low/medium energy SPECT (ii) kernel_f, an callable function that gives the kernel at any source-detector distance \(d\), or (iii) psf_net, a network configured to automatically apply full PSF modeling to a given object \(f\) at all source-detector distances. Only one of the arguments should be given.

CutOffTransform

proj2proj transformation used to set pixel values equal to zero at the first and last few z slices. This is often required when reconstructing DICOM data due to the finite field of view of the projection data, where additional axial slices are included on the top and bottom, with zero measured detection events. This transform is included in the system matrix, to model the sharp cutoff at the finite FOV.

class pytomography.transforms.SPECT.SPECTAttenuationTransform(attenuation_map=None, filepath=None, mode='constant', assume_padded=True)[source]#

Bases: pytomography.transforms.Transform

obj2obj transform used to model the effects of attenuation in SPECT. This transform accepts either an attenuation_map (which must be aligned with the SPECT projection data) or a filepath consisting of folder containing CT DICOM files all pertaining to the same scan

Parameters:
  • attenuation_map (torch.tensor) – Tensor of size [batch_size, Lx, Ly, Lz] corresponding to the attenuation coefficient in \({\text{cm}^{-1}}\) at the photon energy corresponding to the particular scan

  • filepath (Sequence[str]) – Folder location of CT scan; all .dcm files must correspond to different slices of the same scan.

  • mode (str) – Mode used for extrapolation of CT beyond edges when aligning DICOM SPECT/CT data. Defaults to ‘constant’, which means the image is padded with zeros.

  • assume_padded (bool) – Assumes objects and projections fed into forward and backward methods are padded, as they will be in reconstruction algorithms

configure(object_meta, proj_meta)[source]#

Function used to initalize the transform using corresponding object and projection metadata

Parameters:
Return type:

None

forward(object_i, ang_idx)[source]#

Forward projection \(A:\mathbb{U} \to \mathbb{U}\) of attenuation correction.

Parameters:
  • object_i (torch.tensor) – Tensor of size [batch_size, Lx, Ly, Lz] being projected along axis=1.

  • ang_idx (torch.Tensor) – The projection indices: used to find the corresponding angle in projection space corresponding to each projection angle in object_i.

Returns:

Tensor of size [batch_size, Lx, Ly, Lz] such that projection of this tensor along the first axis corresponds to an attenuation corrected projection.

Return type:

torch.tensor

backward(object_i, ang_idx, norm_constant=None)[source]#

Back projection \(A^T:\mathbb{U} \to \mathbb{U}\) of attenuation correction. Since the matrix is diagonal, the implementation is the same as forward projection. The only difference is the optional normalization parameter.

  • ang_idx (torch.Tensor) – The projection indices: used to find the corresponding angle in projection space corresponding to each projection angle in object_i.

  • norm_constant (torch.tensor, optional) – A tensor used to normalize the output during back projection. Defaults to None.

Tensor of size [batch_size, Lx, Ly, Lz] such that projection of this tensor along the first axis corresponds to an attenuation corrected projection.

Return type:

torch.tensor

class pytomography.transforms.SPECT.SPECTPSFTransform(psf_meta=None, kernel_f=None, psf_net=None, assume_padded=True)[source]#

Bases: pytomography.transforms.Transform

obj2obj transform used to model the effects of PSF blurring in SPECT. The smoothing kernel used to apply PSF modeling uses a Gaussian kernel with width \(\sigma\) dependent on the distance of the point to the detector; that information is specified in the SPECTPSFMeta parameter. There are a few potential arguments to initialize this transform (i) psf_meta, which contains relevant collimator information to obtain a Gaussian PSF model that works for low/medium energy SPECT (ii) kernel_f, an callable function that gives the kernel at any source-detector distance \(d\), or (iii) psf_net, a network configured to automatically apply full PSF modeling to a given object \(f\) at all source-detector distances. Only one of the arguments should be given.

Parameters:
  • psf_meta (SPECTPSFMeta) – Metadata corresponding to the parameters of PSF blurring. In most cases (low/medium energy SPECT), this should be the only given argument.

  • kernel_f (Callable) – Function \(PSF(x,y,d)\) that gives PSF at every source-detector distance \(d\). It should be able to take in 1D numpy arrays as its first two arguments, and a single argument for the final argument \(d\). The function should return a corresponding 2D PSF kernel.

  • psf_net (Callable) – Network that takes in an object \(f\) and applies all necessary PSF correction to return a new object \(\tilde{f}\) that is PSF corrected, such that subsequent summation along the x-axis accurately models the collimator detector response.

  • assume_padded (bool) –
