Techniques for regularization parameter and hyper-parameter selection in PET and SPECT Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Penalized maximum likelihood methods are commonly used in positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Due to the fact that a Poisson data-noise model is typically assumed, standard regularization parameter choice methods, such as the discrepancy principle or generalized cross validation, can not be directly applied. In recent work of the authors, regularization parameter choice methods for penalized negative-log Poisson likelihood problems are introduced. In this paper, we apply these methods to the applications of PET and SPECT, introducing a modification that improves the performance of the methods. We then demonstrate how these techniques can be used to choose the hyper-parameters in a Bayesian hierarchical regularization approach.

Investigation of Collimator Influential Parameter on SPECT Image Quality: a Monte Carlo Study
Background: Obtaining high quality images in Single Photon Emission Tomography (SPECT) device  is the most important goal in nuclear medicine. Because if image quality is low, the possibility of making a mistake in diagnosing and treating the patient will rise. Studying effective factors in spatial resolution of imaging systems is thus deemed to be vital. One of the most important factors in S...

Introduction:Brain imaging with F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography or Tc-99m hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (99mTc-HMPAO) SPECT is widely used for the evaluation of Alzheimer's dementia (AD); we aim to assess superiority of one method over the other. Methods: Twenty four patients with clinical diagnosi...
متن کاملPET vs. SPECT: in the context of ongoing developments
This paper intends to compare the abilities of the two major imaging modalities in nuclear medicine imaging: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT). The motivations are many-fold: (i) To gain a better understanding of the strengths and limitations of the two imaging modalities in the context of recent and ongoing developments in hardware ...
متن کامل4D PET: Beyond conventional dynamic PET imaging
In this paper, we review novel techniques in the emerging field of spatiotemporal 4D PET imaging. We will discuss existing limitations in conventional dynamic PET imaging which involves independent reconstruction of dynamic PET datasets. Various approaches that seek to attempt some or all of these limitations are reviewed in this work, including techniques that util...
