A new 2D block ordering system for wavelet-based multi-resolution up-scaling
A complete and accurate analysis of the complex spatial structure of heterogeneous hydrocarbon reservoirs requires detailed geological models, i.e. fine resolution models. Due to the high computational cost of simulating such models, single resolution up-scaling techniques are commonly used to reduce the volume of the simulated models at the expense of losing the precision. Several multi-scale ...
متن کاملA clinical gamma camera-based pinhole collimated system for high resolution small animal SPECT imaging.
The main objective of the present study was to upgrade a clinical gamma camera to obtain high resolution tomographic images of small animal organs. The system is based on a clinical gamma camera to which we have adapted a special-purpose pinhole collimator and a device for positioning and rotating the target based on a computer-controlled step motor. We developed a software tool to reconstruct ...
متن کاملUltra-high-resolution small- animal SPECT imaging
Today the majority of clinical molecular imaging procedures are carried out with single photon emitters and gamma cameras, in planar mode and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) mode. Thanks to the development of advanced multi-pinhole collimation technologies, SPECT imaging of small experimental animals is rapidly gaining in popularity. Whereas resolutions in routine clinical SP...
متن کاملEvaluation of the performance of parallel-hole collimator for high resolution small animal SPECT: A Monte Carlo study
Introduction: Image quality and accuracy of in vivo activity quantification in SPECT are affected by collimator penetration and scatter components, especially in high energy imaging. These phenomena highly depend on the collimator characteristic and photon energy. The presence of penetrated and scattered photons from collimator in SPECT images degrades spatial resolution, contr...
متن کاملOptoelectronic Multi-Chip Module Demonstrator System
Much research has been conducted in the area of optoelectronic interconnection and packaging technology. Much of this work is an effort to develop high bandwidth and low latency optoelectronic chip-to-chip interconnection, or “optoelectronic multi-chip modules” (OE-MCM’s). Most current designs for optoelectronic OE-MCM technology suffer from problems caused by overly complex optical alignment r...
