چکیده

The interpolation of oneand two-dimensional images is considered. The usual linear or cubic spline interpolations try to connect given data points. On the other hand, image data give area integrals of the radiation intensity (i.e., photon counts) over pixels. Based on variational principles, we have developed schemes of quadratic and fourth-order polynomial interpolation which reproduce the given pixelwise photon counts exactly. These methods were tested on some simple examples and showed satisfactory results.

An Adaptive Physics-Based Method for the Solution of One-Dimensional Wave Motion Problems

In this paper, an adaptive physics-based method is developed for solving wave motion problems in one dimension (i.e., wave propagation in strings, rods and beams). The solution of the problem includes two main parts. In the first part, after discretization of the domain, a physics-based method is developed considering the conservation of mass and the balance of momentum. In the second part, ada...

Utilization of an optimum low-pass filter during filtered back-projection in the reconstruction of single photon emission computed tomography images of small structures

Introduction:Low-pass filters eliminate noise, and accordingly improve the quality of filtered back-projection (FBP) in the reconstruction of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images. This study aimed at selection of an optimum low-pass filter for FBP reconstruction of SPECT images of small structures. Material and Methods:Sp...
