Accelerators of charged particles, radiation detectors are widely used in nuclear therapy and nuclear diagnostics. So there is necessity for diagnostic processing of data obtained using these devices. Nuclear diagnostics is based on analysis of radiation passing through the study object emitted from radiopharmaceuticals within the object or from external radiation source. First stage of data processing is presentation of detector signals in 2D or 3D image form. Further processing is based on mathematical modeling of processes within the investigated object. Mathematical modeling of static, dynamic and periodic processes is considered for quantitative analysis of studies in nephrology, osteology, endocrinology and cardiology. The data processing and quantitation software suite is presented. Clinical applications of the developed suite are discussed. Possibilities of software deployment in clinical centers are considered.

Motion Correction in Nuclear Medicine Studies

Nuclear medicine is a type of medical diagnostics involving the application of radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Detection and correction of patient motion during the collection of diagnostic data is an important step in the processing of radionuclide medicine studies, since even a small shift of the patient's body at this moment can affect the reliability of diagnostics results. Algorithms for motion correction in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and dynamic scintigraphy are considered. Using optical flow for radionuclide studies data is suggested.
