Although the triple energy window (TEW) method is widely accepted for correcting crosstalk in the acquired energy spectrum, its effectiveness depends on the gamma camera\u2019s energy resolution and statistical counts on a pixel-by-pixel basis. Furthermore, subtractive corrections applied before image reconstruction, such as TEW, alter the Poisson distribution of detected events, negatively impacting statistical reconstruction accuracy, reconstructed image noise, and image quality. To address these challenges, we introduce an energy-based spectral unmixing crosstalk correction approach in a preclinical setting using the open-source Synergistic Image Reconstruction Framework and Core Imaging Library. This method employs a mixing matrix to decompose hyperspectral data into distinct radionuclide distributions during synergistic reconstruction.\n Approach.<\/jats:italic>\n Data were acquired with the Cubresa Spark preclinical SPECT scanner using\n \n \n \n <\/jats:tex-math>\n \n \n \n \n \n 99<\/mml:mn>\n m<\/mml:mtext>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msup>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n <\/jats:inline-formula>\n Tc\/\n \n \n \n <\/jats:tex-math>\n \n \n \n \n \n 123<\/mml:mn>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msup>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n <\/jats:inline-formula>\n I in measurement and simulation, and\n \n \n \n <\/jats:tex-math>\n \n \n \n \n \n 99<\/mml:mn>\n m<\/mml:mtext>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msup>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n <\/jats:inline-formula>\n Tc\/\n \n \n \n <\/jats:tex-math>\n \n \n \n \n \n 111<\/mml:mn>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msup>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n <\/jats:inline-formula>\n In in simulation. A mouse-sized phantom study employed five 4\u2009MBq line sources with linearly varying mixtures of radioactivity. The images were reconstructed using primary energy windows, TEW, spectral unmixing, and gold standard simulation data representing activity distributions free of crosstalk. Performance evaluation used root-mean-square error (RMSE) for activity quantitation and image contrast, while noise was assessed separately in each image.\n Main results.<\/jats:italic>\n In the\n \n \n \n <\/jats:tex-math>\n \n \n \n \n \n 99<\/mml:mn>\n m<\/mml:mtext>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msup>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n <\/jats:inline-formula>\n Tc\/\n \n \n \n <\/jats:tex-math>\n \n \n \n \n \n 123<\/mml:mn>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msup>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n <\/jats:inline-formula>\n I measurement, primary energy windows yielded a mean quantitation RMSE of 0.49, with improvements of 32% observed with TEW and 74% with spectral unmixing.
