In PET, SPECT, and other tomographic imaging modalities, dynamic image sequences are typically obtained by reconstructing the individual time frames independently. This frame-by-frame reconstruction approach can be highly suboptimal because it fails to take into account the temporal correlations in the signal. We propose an alternative approach, based on a Karhunen-Lohe transformation of the dynamic-image reconstruction problem, that can offer both significant improvement of the reconstructed images and a substantial reduction in the computation required to reconstruct an image sequence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
