Sensitivity to point-spread function parameters in medical ultrasound image deconvolution

Sensitivity to point-spread function parameters in medical ultrasound image deconvolution.

Clinical ultrasound images are often perceived as difficult to interpret due to image blurring and speckle inherent in the ultrasound imaging. But the image quality can be improved by deconvolution using an estimate of the point-spread function. However, it is difficult to obtain a sufficiently accurate estimate of the point-spread function in vivo because of the unknown properties of the soft ...

Edge Artifacts in Point Spread Function-based PET Reconstruction in Relation to Object Size and Reconstruction Parameters

Objective(s): We evaluated edge artifacts in relation to phantom diameter and reconstruction parameters in point spread function (PSF)-based positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction.Methods: PET data were acquired from an original cone-shaped phantom filled with 18F solution (21.9 kBq/mL) for 10 min using a Biograph mCT scanner. The images were reconstructed using the baseline or...

Tomographic Estimation of the Point-spread Function of an Ultrasound Imaging System for Deconvolution

Bayesian estimation of regularization and point spread function parameters for Wiener-Hunt deconvolution.

This paper tackles the problem of image deconvolution with joint estimation of point spread function (PSF) parameters and hyperparameters. Within a Bayesian framework, the solution is inferred via a global a posteriori law for unknown parameters and object. The estimate is chosen as the posterior mean, numerically calculated by means of a Monte Carlo Markov chain algorithm. The estimates are ef...
