A Nonnegatively Constrained Iterative Method with Statistically Based Stopping Rules for Ct, Pet, and Spect Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we extend a nonnegatively constrained iterative method and three stopping rules for its iterations to the medical imaging inverse problems of computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT); the iterative method and stopping rules were introduced for use in astronomical imaging. The paper begins with a brief introduction to the CT, PET, and SPECT mathematical and statistical models. The iterative method and stopping rules are then presented. And finally, numerical experiments are presented to validate the methods.

متن کاملAn Nonnegatively Constrained Iterative Method for Positron Emission Tomography
In positron emission tomography (PET), data is collected via the detection of photons emitted by a radioactive tracer within the subject. The noise in PET data is Poisson, and hence, it is typical to reconstruct the tracer density distribution via the computation of an approximate minimizer of the negative-log Poisson likelihood function. In this paper, we present an iterative method for the so...
متن کاملQuantitative SPECT and planar 32P bremsstrahlung imaging for dosimetry purpose –An experimental phantom study
Background: In this study, Quantitative 32P bremsstrahlung planar and SPECT imaging and consequent dose assessment were carried out as a comprehensive phantom study to define an appropriate method for accurate Dosimetry in clinical practice. Materials and Methods: CT, planar and SPECT bremsstrahlung images of Jaszczak phantom containing a known activity of 32P were acquired. In addition, Phanto...
متن کاملDiagnostic efficiency of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT as compared to 99mTc-Octreotide SPECT/CT and conventional morphologic modalities in neuroendocrine tumors
Objective(s): In view of somatostatin receptor (SSR) expression on cell membranes of the majority of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), functional imaging exploiting analogs of SSR alongside the anatomical imaging is the mainstay of this diagnostic modality. In this prospective study, we assessed and directly compared the diagnostic parameters of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT and 99...
