Abstract | In this paper we propose a method for spatio-temporal reconstruction of dynamic or gated image sequences. In a method we proposed previously, temporal smoothing in a Karhunen-Loeve (KL) transform domain was used prior to reconstruction to reduce the effect of noise. Unlike the Bayesian priors that are usually used in image reconstruction, temporal KL smoothing is a data-driven approach that takes advantage of the fact that the desired part of the data is characterized by strong inter-frame correlations, whereas the noise is uncorrelated. In this paper we improve on one of our group's previous techniques by making the temporal smoothing adapt spatially to local characteristics in the projection data. This improves the noise performance of the temporal smoothing, while significantly lessening the possibility of signal distortion. In the proposed method, spatial regions of the projection data sequence having similar time characteristics are identified by an unsupervised k-means clustering algorithm. A different KL transformation is designed for each spatial region in projection space, adapting the smoothing to the local temporal behavior. Finally, images are reconstructed from the smoothed projections by using the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. Experimental computer simulation results are shown that demonstrate potential improvements in image quality obtained by this technique for dynamic and gated imaging applications in brain, lesion, and cardiac imaging. |

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.
