Two conjugate views of a patient are acquired during a SPECT nuclear medicine study. A common anatomical feature is identified in the views. Based on the differences in location of the common feature in the views, the center of rotation ("COR") of the detector during the study can be calculated after the study has been concluded. This COR can then be used during image reconstruction to determine the location at which each filtered view is backprojected. The resulting SPECT data is of higher quality because COR artifacts in the reconstructed image are reduced or eliminated.

Pendant un examen de médecine nucléaire par tomographie monophotonique d'émission (SPECT), on obtient deux vues conjuguées d'un patient. Une caractéristique anatomique commune est identifiée dans les vues. Sur la base des différences de localisation de la caractéristique commune sur les vues, il est possible de calculer, une fois l'examen terminé, le centre de rotation ("COR") du détecteur pendant l'examen. Ce COR peut ensuite être utilisé pendant la reconstruction de l'image pour déterminer la position à laquelle chaque vue filtrée est rétroprojetée. Les données SPECT qui en résultent sont d'une meilleure qualité parce que les artéfacts de COR dans l'image reconstruite sont réduits ou éliminés.
