With the arrival of increasingly higher resolution PET systems, small amounts of motion can cause significant blurring in the images, compared to the intrinsic resolutions of the scanners. In this work, we have reviewed advanced correction methods for the three cases of (i) unwanted patient motion, as well as motions due to (ii) cardiac and (iii) respiratory cycles. For the first type of ...

Introduction: Myocardial perfusion imaging is a nuclear medicine imaging method that is used to detect coronary artery diseases. One of the main sources of error in this imaging method is the detection of Compton scattered photons in the photopeak energy window used for data acquisition. This results in the degradation of the image contrast, and therefore decreases the...

Introduction: Functional MRI methods have been used to study sensorimotor processing in the Spinal cord. However, these techniques confront unwanted contributions to the measured signal from the physiological fluctuations. For the spinal cord imaging, most of the challenges are consequences of cardiac and respiratory movement artifacts that are considered as significant sources of noise, especi...

with the growth of technology, supervising systems are increasingly replacing humans in military, transportation, medical, spatial, and other industries. among these systems are machine vision systems which are based on image processing and analysis. one of the important tasks of image processing is classification of images into desirable categories for the identification of objects or their sp...

we present an approach to design of fault tolerant computing systems. in this paper, a technique is employed that enable the combination of several codes, in order to obtain flexibility in the design of error correcting codes. code combining techniques are very effective, which one of these codes are turbo codes. the algorithm-based fault tolerance techniques that to detect errors rely on the c...

introduction: scattered photon is one of the main defects that degrade the quality and quantitative accuracy of nuclear medicine images. accurate estimation of scatter in projection data of spect is computationally extremely demanding for activity distribution in uniform and non-uniform dense media. methods: the objective of this paper is to develop and validate a scatter correction technique t...

We prove a general form of bit flip formula for the quantum Fourier transform on finite abelian groups and use it to encode some general CSS codes on these groups.
