Correction techniques in PET and SPECT -- 3. Recent developments; Also available in print edition N2 - "Written by an interdisciplinary team of medical doctors, computer scientists, physicists, engineers, and mathematicians, Correction Techniques in Emission Tomography presents various correction methods used in emission tomography to generate and enhance images. It discusses the techniques from a computer science, mathematics, and physics viewpoint. The book gives a comprehensive overview of correction techniques at different levels of the data processing workflow. It covers nuclear medicine imaging, hybrid emission tomography, and optical imaging. An important aspect of the text is on new and sophisticated motion correction techniques in PET imaging. The book also illustrates basic principles as well as recent advances, such as model-based iterative algorithms and 4D methods. Reflecting state-of-the-art research, this volume explores the range of problems that occur in emission tomography. It looks at how the resulting images are affected and presents practical compensation methods to overcome the problems and improve the images"-- UR - http://marc.crcnetbase.com/isbn/9781439813010 ER -
