All the 17 selected analytes were semi-quantified using a different analyte to assess the quantification performance under various conditions.
To improve the damage quantification performance, the methodology is derived by eliminating erroneous assumptions in the existing modeshape-based methods and adopting additional modal information, i.e., natural frequencies.
In the numerical verification, the damage quantification performance of the proposed method is compared with the performance of other existing methods.
Although reconstruction algorithms suitable for bremsstrahlung imaging of 90Y are under development [9, 10], the resulting images have the disadvantage of having a low spatial resolution and poor quantification performance, especially for small lesions when using parallel-hole collimators.
Our initial dataset used to evaluate quantification performance is comprised of samples from the prostate cancer cell lines DU145, RWPE, VCaP, and LnCaP, and one prostate cancer tumor tissue with a matched adjacent normal sample.
We also investigated the effect of multi-mapper handling on the quantification performance (Fig. 4B).
