Introduction:It is well-recognized that collimator-detector response (CDR) is the main image blurring factor in SPECT.  In this research, we compensated the images for CDR in molecular SPECT by using STIR reconstruction framework. Methods: To assess resolution recovery capability of the STIR, a phantom containing five point sources along with a micro Derenzo p...

The recognition of people orientation in single images is still an open issue in several real cases, when the image resolution is poor, body parts cannot be distinguished and localized or motion cannot be exploited. However, the estimation of a person orientation, even an approximated one, could be very useful to improve people tracking and re-identification systems, or to provide a coarse alig...

We have developed an image quality theory for reconstruction that we apply to filtered back-projection (FBP) and statistical reconstruction (OSEM) for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT). Quantitative measures of reconstruction performance are given in terms of signal and noise power spectra, SPS and NPS, that we derive from phantom images. This allows evaluating the properties o...
