Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners are usually designed with the goal to obtain the best compromise between sensitivity, resolution, field-of-view size, and cost. Therefore, it is difficult to improve the resolution of a PET…

Expectation-maximization (EM) is a popular and well-established method for image reconstruction in positron emission tomography (PET) but it often suffers from slow convergence. Ordered subset EM (OSEM) is an effective reconstruction…

SPECT (Single-photon Emission Computerized Tomography) and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) are essential medical imaging tools, for which the sampling angle number, scan time should be chosen carefully to compromise between image quality…

Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) provides a mechanism to estimate regional isotope uptake in lesions and at-risk organs after administration of {\alpha}-particle-emitting radiopharmaceutical therapies ({\alpha}-RPTs).…

We study the increase of image noise which can be observed in images reconstructed with the OSEM algorithm. We argue that the excessive noise is equivalent to shortening scanning time by a factor of 2 or more at high number of subsets…

Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) offers significant advantages in reducing the potential harm to human bodies. However, reducing the X-ray dose in CT scanning often leads to severe noise and artifacts in the reconstructed images, which…

Small animal PET scanners require high spatial resolution and good sensitivity. To reconstruct high-resolution images in 3D-PET, iterative methods, such as OSEM, are superior to analytical reconstruction algorithms, although their high…

SPECT provides a mechanism to perform absorbed-dose quantification tasks for $\alpha$-particle radiopharmaceutical therapies ($\alpha$-RPTs). However, quantitative SPECT for $\alpha$-RPT is challenging due to the low number of detected…

Reliable attenuation and scatter compensation (ASC) is a prerequisite for quantification and beneficial for visual interpretation tasks in SPECT. In this paper, we develop a reconstruction method that uses the entire SPECT emission data,…

In this paper, we explore a novel method for tomographic image reconstruction in the field of SPECT imaging. Deep Learning methodologies and more specifically deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) are employed in the new reconstruction…

In this report, we applied expectation and maximization (EM) method described by Philips et al [1] to recover two-dimensional (2D) structure from multiple sparse signal images in random orientation. The detailed derivation of EM algorithm…

Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers high resolution multidimensional imaging, but generally suffers from defocussing, intensity falloff and shot noise, causing artifacts and image degradation along the imaging depth.…

Statistical iterative reconstruction is expected to improve the image quality of megavoltage computed tomography (MVCT). However, one of the challenges of iterative reconstruction is its large computational cost. The purpose of this work is…

In this paper, we presented an efficient algorithm to implement the regularization reconstruction of SPECT. Image reconstruction with priori assumptions is usually modeled as a constrained optimization problem. However, there is no…

Medical image reconstruction with pre-trained score-based generative models (SGMs) has advantages over other existing state-of-the-art deep-learned reconstruction methods, including improved resilience to different scanner setups and…

The reconstruction of images from a small number of projections using the maximum-entropy method (MEM) with the Shannon entropy is considered. MEM provides higher-quality image reconstruction for sources with extended components than the…

Electron microscopy has shown to be a very powerful tool to map the chemical nature of samples at various scales down to atomic resolution. However, many samples can not be analyzed with an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio because of the…

Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) is one of the nuclear medicine imaging modalities used for functional analysis of animal and human organs. Gamma rays emitted from the scanned body are filtered with collimators and…
