Abstract

In this work, the image reconstruction in π-scheme short-scan single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with nonuniform attenuation is derived in its most general form when πscheme short-scan SPECT entails data acquisition over disjoint angular intervals without conjugate views totaling to  radians. The reconstruction results are based on decomposition of Novikov´s inversion operator into three parts bounded in the L2 sense. The first part involves the measured partial data; the second part is a skew-symmetric operator; the third part is a symmetric and compact contribution. It is showed firstly that the operators involved belong to L(L2(B)). Furthermore numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed method.
