| Abstract | Dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) imaging provides important quantitative information of physiological and biochemical processes in humans and animals. However, due to short-time acquisitions to obtain a time sequence of images for parametric imaging, the signal-to-noise ratio of measurement data in each time frame is often very low, which leads the dynamic PET image reconstruction to be a challenging task. And some noticeable errors are inevitable transferred to the voxel-wise kinetic parameter imaging from the associative noisy TAC measurements. To tackle this problem, maximum a posteriori (MAP) statistical reconstruction methods are widely used by incorporating some prior information. Conventional priors focus on local neighborhoods in individual image frames and subsequently penalize inter-voxel intensity differences through different penalty functions such as the quadratic membrane smoothing prior and non-quadratic edge-preserving prior, failing to explore the temporal information of dynamic PET data. In this paper, we design a spatial-temporal edge-preserving (STEP) prior model under the framework of bilateral filter by considering both the spatial local neighborhoods and the temporal kinetic information. Experimental results via a computer simulation study demonstrate that the present dynamic PET reconstruction method with the STEP prior can achieve noticeable gains than the conventional Huber prior in term of signal-to-noise and bias-variance evaluations for the parametric images. |

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.
