introduction: the accuracy of analyzing functional mri (fmri) data is usually decreases in the presence of noise and artifact sources. a common solution in for analyzing fmri data having high noise is to use suitable preprocessing methods with the aim of data denoising. some effects of preprocessing methods on the parametric methods such as general linear model (glm) have previously been evalua...

myocardial perfusion spect imaging with tc99m-sestamibi is the most accurate non-invasive means of detecting coronary artery disease and assessing the severity of perfusion abnormalities in the patients with coronary stenosis. though simple and straight forward the results produced by the technique is very much affected by the details being used. one of the main problems with the test, which ha...

Beamlet measurements show that cone pinholes outperform other types tested with regard to both closure and back reflections. A *I50 prad stainless steel cone remained open for a 15.5 kJ, 10: 1 contrast shaped pulse with Ifi7.5 mad of SSD divergence, which more than meets the requirements for a NIF ignition pulse. Measurements also showed the maximum tolerable pressures in the NIF spatial filter...

In this paper, we present both a methodology and a rationale for designing filters based on spatial smoothness and accuracy criteria. Frequency based methods have been used to design function and derivative reconstruction filters especially in image and signal processing. Desired filter characteristics are specified in terms of spectral properties. However, for visualization and image synthesis...
