Statistical image reconstruction methods for randoms-precorrected PET scans
Positron emission tomography (PET) measurements are usually precorrected for accidental coincidence events by real-time subtraction of the delayed-window coincidences. Randoms subtraction compensates on average for accidental coincidences but destroys the Poisson statistics. We propose and analyze two new approximations to the exact log-likelihood of the precorrected measurements, one based on ...

PET measurements are usually precorrected for accidental coincidence events by real-time subtraction of the delayed window coincidences. Randoms subtraction compensates in mean for accidental coincidences but destroys the Poisson statistics. We propose and analyze two new approximations to the exact log-likelihood of the precorrected measurements, one based on a \shifted Poisson" model, the oth...

متن کاملObjective Functions for Tomographic Reconstruction from Randoms-Precorrected PET Scans
In PET, usually the data are precorrected for accidental coincidence (AC) events by real-time subtraction of the delayed window coincidences. Randoms subtraction compensates in mean for AC events but destroys the Poisson statistics. Furthermore, for transmission tomography the weighted least-squares (WLS) method leads to systematic biases, especially at low count rates. We propose a new “shifte...
متن کاملPET Image Reconstruction
Positron emission tomography (PET) scanners collect measurements of a patient’s in vivo radiotracer distribution. These measurements are reconstructed into cross-sectional images. Tomographic image reconstruction forms images of functional information in nuclear medicine applications and the same principles can be applied to modalities such as X-ray computed tomography. This chapter provides a ...
