Opis

Written by an interdisciplinary team of medical doctors, computer scientists, physicists, engineers, and mathematicians, this volume presents various correction methods used in emission tomography to generate and enhance images. Topics include nuclear medicine imaging, hybrid emission tomography, and optical imaging, and an important aspect of the book is the exploration of new and sophisticated motion correction techniques in PET imaging. The contributors illustrate basic principles as well as recent advances, such as model-based iterative algorithms and 4D methods.
