Abstract:
Systems and methods include control of a nuclear imaging scanner to acquire nuclear imaging scan data of a body, control of a computed tomography scanner to acquire computed tomography scan data of the body, determination of a scanning speed, of the nuclear imaging scanner, associated with each of a plurality of scanning coordinates based on locations of one or more internal volumes associated with radioactivity greater than a threshold level, a classification determined for each of the one or more of the internal volumes indicating a degree of clinical interest based at least in part on the radioactivity associated with the internal volume, and an attenuation coefficient map based on the computed tomography scan data, and control of the nuclear imaging scanner to scan the body over each of the scanning coordinates at the associated scanning speed.
