Recently developed dedicated cardiac SPECT do not support CT and thus, scans on these systems are vulnerable to attenuation artifacts. This study aimed to present a new method for generating attenuation map directly from emission data by segmentation of precisely nonrigid registration XCAT-digital phantom with cardiac SPECT image.
