Abstract
The dedicated breast CZT-based SPECT imaging system in our lab implements novel 3D camera trajectories that can minimize breast-detector separation, thus improving resolution and image quality. Current trajectories are manually customized for each patient by measuring breast-detector separations at several positions and interpolating. This study seeks to transition from this manual method to an automated contouring solution for routine patient SPECT imaging, given the vast array of uncompressed breast shapes in women.
