background: butterworth, gaussian, hamming, hanning, and parzen are commonly used spect filters during filtered back-projection (fbp) reconstruction, which greatly affect the quality and size accuracy of image. materials and methods: this study involved a cardiac phantom in which 1.10 cm thick cold defect was inserted into its myocardium wall and filled with 4.0 μci/ml (0.148 mbq/ml) 99mtc conc...

introduction: in this study the evaluation of a platelet-based maximum penalized likelihood estimation (mple) for denoising spect images was performed and compared with other denoising methods such as wavelets or butterworth filtration. platelet-based mple factorization as a multiscale decomposition approach has been already proposed for better edges and surfaces representation due to poisson n...

We show that the gain for using a waterfilling power allocation instead of a flat allocation over non-singular channel components is negligible at high signal-to-noise ratios. Consider the standard additive noise communication channel with a quadratic power constraint. Although waterfilling provides the optimal input distribution for Gaussian noise channels, sub-optimal distributions are often ...
