Algorithms of CT and SPECT Scans
Benchmarks
1. Become familiar with MatLab syntax by creating a Computed Tomography (CT) program
2. Create a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to simulate a CT scan
3. Obtain working knowledge of current SPECT models [from Katherine]
4. Tweak CT program to simulate Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) scan
5. Create a GUI to simulate SPECT reconstruction images
Weekly Log
Week 1 (5/31 - 6/3)
- Met with Dr. Clough
- Discussed scope of project - Learned basics of CT, SPECT, and PET scans (projections, Radon transform, Inverse Radon transform, reconstruction) - Defined benchmarks for the summer
{ Next meeting Tuesday 6/7 with Dr. Clough and Graduate student(s)}
- Attended Dr. Factor's talk on basics of research
- Using the tools you have - Thoughtful consideration of a problem and solutions - Know what you don't know ==> develop a strategy to figure it out - Find out what is already known (do you need a new algorithm?) - Break the problem down into manageable pieces - Know your audience
- Conducted background research on CT scans
- How they have improved (greater efficiency and effectiveness) - Confirmed understanding of basics given by Dr. Clough
- Wrote preliminary MatLab programs
- Created image to be scanned - Calculated projection image (Radon transform as well as individual projections) - Reconstructed image (Inverse radon transform)
- Researched basic GUI construction
For next week : Begin constructing GUI for preliminary CT simulation
