摘要：

The technique of threshold determination using maximization of interclass variance (MIV) has been evaluated for the assessment of radioactivity and Volume in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The SPECT reconstruction incorporated scatter and attenuation correction using an attenuation map from computed tomographic (CT) images. The technique has been examined on a large number of phantom objects with both Tc-99(m) and I-131. Volume measurement of objects was performed using a variety of methods of applying the MTV technique. The standard error of volume estimation for the optimum method was 7.3 ml for Tc-99(m) and 15.3 ml for I-131. Activity was measured by expansion of the volume of interest representing the space occupied by the object to make allowance for limited SPECT resolution. The standard errors of the activity measurements were 0.22 MBQ for Tc-99(m) and 0.24 MBq for I-131.
