Recent work aimed at quantifying the statistical efficiency of diagnostic imaging systems has resulted in the frequent use of the detective quantum efficiency (DQE) and noise equivalent quantum exposure (NEQ). Estimation of these metrics requires the

Without contrast material, the cardiac wall motion can be clearly described by using subtraction method. The subtracted x-ray images from an end diastolic phase image gives sufficient information to evaluate cardiac motion quantitatively. Clinical va

The volume of various organs in the body, including the liver and spleen, have been measured from image data obtained by the S.P.E.C.T. technique. Organ volumes were obtained by applying a semi-automated edge detection algorithm to each tomographic s

An algorithmic process has been developed for the non-linear enhancement of x-ray images with noisy characteristics. The enhancement process involves the application of two specialized algorithms in series. The first algorithm serves to enhance the i

The electrical resistivity of various tissues is known to cover a wide range of values and images of resistivity distribution within a patient should show good contrast and may prove to have some diagnostic use. Data on the internal distribution of r

An electronic collimation system for SPECT imaging has been designed to provide improved detection efficiency over a mechanical collimator. A maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is derived for this prototype electronically collimated system. The data

A two-stage adaptive vector quantization scheme for radiographic image sequence coding is introduced. In vector quantization, an image se-quence is first mapped into a vector set; each vector is then encoded by two distinct pieces of information, the

Acquisition times in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are typically in the order of minutes. For an image of 256 x 256 pixels, the standard Fourier reconstruction technique used in most commercial imaging systems requires256 separate free induction d

Detectors of computed radiography systems have a very wide linear dynamic range Pnd enable faithful acquisition of image data, independent of the chosen x-ray exposure or the dynamic data range within the image. To yield consistently viewable images

Detection of cancerous lung nodules in chest radiographs is one of the more important tasks performed by a radiologist. In addition, the "miss rate" associated with the radiographic detection of lung nodules is approximately 30%. A computerized schem
