The Radon transform, its generalization and their applications in PET and SPECT medical imaging
Abstract
In the present thesis, the following three different mathematical problems are solved: (a) the problem of edge detection in the Radon (ρ,θ)-space, (b) the problem of deblurring in the attenuated Radon (ρ,θ)-space, and (c) the problem of the inversion of the attenuated Radon transform via a new analytic formula, following the pioneering work of Novikov and Fokas, and the associated numerical implementation, referred to as the attenuated spline reconstruction technique (aSRT). The above mathematical problems involve the inversion of the celebrated Radon transform of a function, defined as the set of all its line integrals, as well as the inversion of a certain generalization of the Radon transform of a function, the so-called attenuated Radon transform, defined as the set of all its attenuated line integrals. The non-attenuated and attenuated versions of the Radon transform provide the mathematical foundation of two of the most important available medical imaging techniques, namely posit ...
