The author's main purpose is to review the techniques and applications of the Monte Carlo
method in medical radiation physics since Raeside's review article in 1976. Emphasis is …

In emission tomography statistically based iterative methods can improve image quality
relative to analytic image reconstruction through more accurate physical and statistical …

A novel method of reconstruction from single-photon emission computerized tomography
data is proposed. This method builds on the expectation-maximization (EM) approach to …

Presents an image reconstruction method for positron-emission tomography (PET) based on
a penalized, weighted least-squares (PWLS) objective. For PET measurements that are …

A new method is proposed to subtract the count of scattered photons from that acquired with
a photopeak window at each pixel in each planar image of single-photon emission …

This paper studies mathematical methods in the emerging new discipline of Computational
Anatomy. Herein we formalize the Brown/Washington University model of anatomy following …

Improved axial spatial resolution in positron emission tomography (PET) scanners will lead
to reduced sensitivity unless the axial acceptance angle for the coincidences is kept …

Monte Carlo techniques have become popular in different areas of medical physics with
advantage of powerful computing systems. In particular, they have been extensively applied …

Detection of scattered gamma quanta degrades image contrast and quantitative accuracy of
single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging. This paper reviews …

The main components of scatter correction procedures are scatter estimation and a scatter
compensation algorithm. This paper completes a previous paper where a general …
