The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of respiratory motion correction and spatial resolution on lesion detectability in PET as a function of lesion size and tracer uptake. Real respiratory signals describing different breathing types are combined with a motion model formed from real dynamic MR data to simulate multiple dynamic PET datasets acquired from a continuously moving subje...

In asteroseismology, the surface effect refers to a disparity between observed and modelled frequencies in stars with solar-like oscillations. It originates from improper modelling of layers. Correcting usually requires using functions free parameters, which are conventionally fitted frequencies. On basis that correction should vary smoothly across H--R diagram, we parameterize it as simple fun...

reflection seismic data consist of primary reflections, coherent and incoherent noises. one of the objectives of seismic data processing is to enhance the quality of the real signals by attenuating different kinds of noises. multiples constitute one of the most troublesome forms of coherent noises in exploration seismology. multiple reflections often destructively interfere with the desired pri...

Small airways disease (SAD) is one of the leading causes of airflow limitations in patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Parametric response mapping (PRM) of computed tomography (CT) scans allows for the quantification of this previously invisible COPD component. Although PRM is being investigated as a diagnostic tool for COPD, variability in the longitudinal mea...

This work aims to extract the mineralogical constituents of the Lahroud Hyperion scene situated in the NW of Iran. Like the other push-broom sensors, Hyperion images suffer from spectral distortions, namely the smile effect. The corresponding spectral curvature is defined as an across-track wavelength shift from the nominal central wavelength, and alters the pixel spectra. The common “column me...
