摘要: The objective in nuclear medicine is to deduce properties of a gamma-ray source inside patient’s body from measurements the gamma rays that escape body. are attenuated and scattered complicated ways before they emerge body, it essential have good theoretical description these processes attempting inverse problem. In this paper we make use Boltzmann transport equation describe variation flux with position, direction energy. After tutorial derivation equation, discuss various analytic solutions, showing relation x-ray transform. Numerical methods also discussed, distribution measured data elucidated. Then some approaches inverse-source problem described.
