Simultaneous confidence intervals for image reconstruction problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We provide a methodology for specifying a set of simultaneous (1 CY)% confidence intervals on the intensity of each image pixel for emission and transmission tomography. These intervals give a (1 a)% confidence region which, given a specific family of noise distributions, e.g. Gaussian or Poisson, is guaranteed to contain the actual image with probability at least 1 -a. This region is a "set estimate" of the image which can be used to study confidence levels of popular image reconstructions such as filtered back projection, weighted-least-squares, and maximum likelihood. Alternatively, the set estimate can be used as a feasibility region from which particular image estimates can be selected based on additional criteria. A simulation for parallel ray projection geometries in emission tomography is given.

Exact maximum coverage probabilities of confidence intervals with increasing bounds for Poisson distribution mean
A Poisson distribution is well used as a standard model for analyzing count data. So the Poisson distribution parameter estimation is widely applied in practice. Providing accurate confidence intervals for the discrete distribution parameters is very difficult. So far, many asymptotic confidence intervals for the mean of Poisson distribution is provided. It is known that the coverag...
متن کاملBlock-Based Compressive Sensing Using Soft Thresholding of Adaptive Transform Coefficients
Compressive sampling (CS) is a new technique for simultaneous sampling and compression of signals in which the sampling rate can be very small under certain conditions. Due to the limited number of samples, image reconstruction based on CS samples is a challenging task. Most of the existing CS image reconstruction methods have a high computational complexity as they are applied on the entire im...

Objective (s): Various iterative reconstruction algorithms in nuclear medicine have been introduced in the last three decades. For each new imaging system, it is wise to select appropriate image reconstruction algorithms and evaluate their performance. In this study, three approaches of image reconstruction were developed for a novel desktop open-gantry SPECT system, PERSPECT, to assess their p...
متن کاملAssessing Conformance with Benford’s Law: Goodness-Of-Fit Tests and Simultaneous Confidence Intervals
Benford's Law is a probability distribution for the first significant digits of numbers, for example, the first significant digits of the numbers 871 and 0.22 are 8 and 2 respectively. The law is particularly remarkable because many types of data are considered to be consistent with Benford's Law and scientists and investigators have applied it in diverse areas, for example, diagnostic tests fo...
متن کاملSART-Type Image Reconstruction from a Limited Number of Projections with the Sparsity Constraint
Based on the recent mathematical findings on solving the linear inverse problems with sparsity constraints by Daubechiesx et al., here we adapt a simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (SART) for image reconstruction from a limited number of projections subject to a sparsity constraint in terms of an invertible compression transform. The algorithm is implemented with an exemplary Haar ...
