Correction for photon attenuation in SPECT: analytical framework, average attenuation factors, and a new hybrid approach

We provide a unified framework for the investigation of convergence properties of the iterative algorithms for photon attenuation correction in SPECT, including the iterative Chang method--a commonly used approach in which an average attenuation factor calculated over all projection angles is employed in a pointwise correction scheme. A new average attenuation factor calculated along the projection line is introduced, which can compensate exactly for the attenuation effect in the case of a uniform activity distribution. We propose a new hybrid approach in which we use this new average attenuation factor initially and then shift to the iterative Chang method in later iterations. This hybrid approach was evaluated in a simulation study by use of a computer-generated phantom with both non-uniform activity and non-uniform attenuation distributions. The results demonstrate that this hybrid approach improves the convergence speed of the iterative Chang method and produces reconstructed images of high quality.     

Synergistic interaction of D1 and D2 dopamine receptors in the modulation of the reinforcing effect of brain stimulation.

Rats were trained to press a bar for hypothalamic stimulation, and a frequency-response function was plotted. Quinpirole (a selective D2 agonist) facilitated self-stimulation when injected alone but failed to show the facilitatory effect when injected either 1 hr before or 1 hr after injection of SCH 23390 (a D1 antagonist). Injection of reserpine followed by α-methyl-p-tyrosine virtually eliminated self-stimulation. Subsequent injection of either SKF 38393 (a D1 agonist) alone or quinpirole alone did not restore self-stimulation, but a combination of quinpirole and SKF 38393 did. Results suggest that a D2 dopamine agonist facilitates the reinforcing effect of brain stimulation only if D1 receptors are activated by endogenous dopamine or by an exogenous agonist.

InGaAs（P）分别限制应变单量子阱激光器的优化设计

针对较常用的ＩｎＧａＡｓ（Ｐ）分别限制应变单量子阱激光器，给出了为得到最大净增益的优化设计参数。对于激射波长为１．５５μｍ的无应变激光器，最佳的光限制层波长为１．２４μｍ，厚度为１００ｎｍ。当阱材料引入压缩应变后．由于价带的有效状态密度减小，量子阱激光器的微分增益变大，阱深的增大对增大线性增益的效果更加明显．所以最佳光限制层的波长将变短，为１．２０μｍ
