  Objective(s): In SPECT, the sinogram contains scatter and lack of attenuated counts that degrade the reconstructed image quality and quantity. Many techniques for attenuation and scatter correction have been proposed. An acceptable method of correction is to incorporate effects into an iterative statistical reconstruction. Here, we propose new Maximum Likelihood Expectation Maximiz...

ANESTHESIOLOGY is a discipline that is uniquely placed to contribute to the preeminent scientific quest of this century–namely the understanding of the neurologic mechanisms that underpin the phenomena of consciousness. The operating room is the crucible in which any putative theory should be tested. While acknowledging that there are arguments as to whether rapid eye movement sleep is really a...

background motion artifacts that degrade image quality of coronary ct angiography (ccta) in patients with high heart rates may be reduced with specific automatic motion correction algorithms (amc). conclusions ccta image quality improves significantly with amc in patients with high heart rates and reduces the proportion of non-diagnostic examinations. results mean heart rate during ccta was 61 ...
