| Abstract | The high dimensionality and high level noise of dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) data make the identification of the kinetic feature of lesions difficult. Principle component analysis (PCA) is a well-known multivariate image analysis technique to reduce the dimensions and noise level in dynamic PET data. However, the contrast of small lesions is often reduced by PCA, due to the lack of using a priori physiological knowledge of lesions. In this paper, a new method, modified from the generalized sidelobe canceler (GSC), is proposed to incorporate the physiological features extracted from the visible tumor and normal tissue in order to enhance the non-palpable lesions in the background noise. Two different schemes are adopted to implement the modified GSC. One uses both physiological features of lesions and normal tissue, while the other employs only that of lesions. The multidimensional maximum likelihood estimation is applied to find physiological factors which span time activity curve subspaces of lesions and normal tissue from dynamic PET data. Results show that the proposed modified GSC can substantially stretch the contrast of small lesions, and thus is able to aid in detecting non-palpable tumors. The images resulting from post-processing the FBP by the modified GSC are compared with those of the OSEM reconstruction as well as the PCA. The analytical analysis of the method is also described. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
