Joint-MAP Reconstruction/Segmentation for Transmission Tomography Using Mixture-Models as Priors
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Bayesian method, including a pointwise prior comprising mixtures of gamma distributions, is applied to the problem of transmission tomography. A joint MAP (maximum a posteriori) procedure is proposed wherein the reconstruction itself, as well as all pointwise parameters, are calculated simultaneously. It uses an algorithm that successively refines the estimate of the mixture parameters and the reconstruction. The approach aims to solve the problem of low counts statistics in transmission tomography. Initial simulation results with anecdotal reconstructions show that the gamma mixture model likely outperforms the ML (maximum likelihood) method and FBP (filtered-backprojection) algorithm.

Image Segmentation using Gaussian Mixture Model
Abstract: Stochastic models such as mixture models, graphical models, Markov random fields and hidden Markov models have key role in probabilistic data analysis. In this paper, we used Gaussian mixture model to the pixels of an image. The parameters of the model were estimated by EM-algorithm. In addition pixel labeling corresponded to each pixel of true image was made by Bayes rule. In fact,...

متن کاملJoint-MAP Bayesian tomographic reconstruction with a gamma-mixture prior
We address the problem of Bayesian image reconstruction with a prior that captures the notion of a clustered intensity histogram. The problem is formulated in the framework of a joint-MAP (maximum a posteriori) estimation with the prior PDF modeled as a mixture-of-gammas density. This prior PDF has appealing properties, including positivity enforcement. The joint MAP optimization is carried out...
متن کاملComparison of Gamma-Regularized Bayesian Reconstruction to Segmentation-Based Reconstruction for Transmission Tomography
For PET and SPECT, it is important to obtain accurate attenuation ( ) maps of thorax under conditions where counts are low. We previously proposed (Hsiao, Rangarajan, Gindi; Proc. IEEE Med. Img. Conf., 1998) a Bayesian reconstruction method in which the prior is base on a gamma mixture model. This method models the object as comprising attenuation coefficients that cluster into few (e.g. soft t...
متن کاملIntegrating Anatomical Priors in ECT Reconstruction via Joint Mixtures and Mutual Information
We present a joint mixture model for integrating anatomical information in ECT reconstruction. The mixture model acts as a Bayesian prior with the added benefit of the anatomical segmentation pixel-region labels guiding the reconstruction process. An additional hyper-prior on the mixture occupation probability is introduced. This has the novel interpretation of maximizing the mutual information...
