PET iterative reconstruction incorporating an efficient positron range correction method.
Positron range is one of the main physical effects limiting the spatial resolution of positron emission tomography (PET) images. If positrons travel inside a magnetic field, for instance inside a nuclear magnetic resonance (MR) tomograph, the mean range will be smaller but still significant. In this investigation we examined a method to correct for the positron range effect in iterative image r...
متن کاملAn Efficient Four-Connected Parallel System for PET Image Reconstruction
In this paper, we present an ecient parallel system with an interconnection network customized for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) image reconstruction. The proposed parallel reconstruction system has two distinguished features. On feature is that the interconnection network is optimal for both ®ltered backprojection and EM algorithms, rather than only for one of them. The other feature is ...
متن کاملPET Image Reconstruction
Positron emission tomography (PET) scanners collect measurements of a patient’s in vivo radiotracer distribution. These measurements are reconstructed into cross-sectional images. Tomographic image reconstruction forms images of functional information in nuclear medicine applications and the same principles can be applied to modalities such as X-ray computed tomography. This chapter provides a ...
متن کاملBayesian PET image reconstruction
We developed a maximum a posterior (MAP) reconstruction method for positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction incorporating magnetic resonance (MR) image information, with the joint entropy between the PET and MR image features serving as the regularization constraint. A non-parametric method was used to estimate the joint probability density of the PET and MR images. Using realist...
متن کاملAdvances in PET Image Reconstruction.
Until recently, the most widely used methods for image reconstruction were direct analytic techniques. Iterative techniques, although computationally much more intensive, produce improved images (principally arising from more accurate modeling of the acquired projection data), enabling these techniques to replace analytic techniques not only in research settings but also in the clinic. This art...
