Positron emission tomography (PET) is a diagnostic technique that involves the reconstruction and quantiÿcation of the distribution of radioactivity within a body. Analytical reconstructions are relatively quick but statistical models yield possibly better reconstructions at the price of long comput

This work describes the implementation of the Point Spread Function in an iterative reconstruction algorithm for PET and presents some validation results on the new algorithm. A new prior for a variational regularization is also proposed to control the noise and to allow the number of iterations to

A fundamental property of malignant tumors is increased glucose metabolism, which can be estimated by imaging the glucose analog fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). The aim of this study was to determine whether FDG uptake in lung carcinoma, as measured on positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in patient
