The problem of presentation of 3D SPECT (Single-Photon EmissionComputed Tomography) images are considered. Instead of the classical 2D image presentation methods (displaying the slices) the following methods are studied: presentation of sections with a 3D reference image, generation of 3D phase and amplitude images (for gated heart studies), surface rendering and volume rendering by 3DVIEWNIX (MIGP, Univ. Pennsylvania) software. The projections are collected by a single-head SPECT system. After preprocessing (centre-of-rotation, uniformity correction) and reconstruction of the transversal sections absorption- correction and special 3D processing can be done. There are clinical programs for the different kinds of studies (e.g. brain SPECT, heart SPECT). The processed section images are stored and converted into Interfile 3.3 format. The first two presentation methods are available on our SPECT system. In order to use the 3DVIEWNIX software the file of the reconstructed sections is converted into a generalized ACR-NEMA format and transferred into our university network. The 3DVIEWNIX system runs on UNIX machines. It is suitable to visualize, manipulate and analyse multidimensional image data like SPECT. The results of the surface and volume rendering of brain and heart studies are presented.
