Résumé

In peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), accurate quantification of kidney activity on post-treatment SPECT images paves the way for patient-specific treatment. Due to the limited spatial resolution of SPECT images, the partial volume effect (PVE) is a significant source of quantitative bias. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the performance and robustness of anatomy-based partial volume correction (PVC) algorithms to recover the accurate activity concentration of realistic kidney geometries on [Formula: see text]Lu SPECT images recorded under clinical conditions. Based on the CT scan data from patients, three sets of fillable kidneys with surface-to-volume (S:V) ratios ranging from 1.5 to 2.8 cm Without PVC, the average kidney RCs across all TBRs ranged from 0.66 ± 0.05 (smallest kidney) to 0.80 ± 0.03 (largest kidney). For a TBR of 12, all anatomy-based method were able to recover the kidneys activity concentration with an error < 6%. All methods result in a comparable decline in RC restoration with decreasing TBR. The Labbé method was the most robust against PSF and registration mismatches but was also the most sensitive to background heterogeneity. Among the voxel-based methods, MTC images were less uniform than RBV and IY images at the outer edge of high uptake areas (kidneys and spheres). Anatomy-based PVE correction allows for accurate SPECT quantification of the [Formula: see text]Lu activity concentration with realistic kidney geometries.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
In peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), accurate quantification of kidney activity on post-treatment SPECT images paves the way for patient-specific treatment. Due to the limited spatial resolution of SPECT images, the partial volume effect (PVE) is a significant source of quantitative bias. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the performance and robustness of anatomy-based partial volume correction (PVC) algorithms to recover the accurate activity concentration of realistic kidney geometries on [Formula: see text]Lu SPECT images recorded under clinical conditions.
METHODS METHODS
Based on the CT scan data from patients, three sets of fillable kidneys with surface-to-volume (S:V) ratios ranging from 1.5 to 2.8 cm
RESULTS RESULTS
Without PVC, the average kidney RCs across all TBRs ranged from 0.66 ± 0.05 (smallest kidney) to 0.80 ± 0.03 (largest kidney). For a TBR of 12, all anatomy-based method were able to recover the kidneys activity concentration with an error < 6%. All methods result in a comparable decline in RC restoration with decreasing TBR. The Labbé method was the most robust against PSF and registration mismatches but was also the most sensitive to background heterogeneity. Among the voxel-based methods, MTC images were less uniform than RBV and IY images at the outer edge of high uptake areas (kidneys and spheres).
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Anatomy-based PVE correction allows for accurate SPECT quantification of the [Formula: see text]Lu activity concentration with realistic kidney geometries. Combined with recent progress in deep-learning algorithms for automatic anatomic segmentation of whole-body CT, these methods could be of particular interest for a fully automated OAR dosimetry pipeline with PVE correction.
