Towards Automatic Selection of the Regularization Parameters in Emission Tomgraphy by Fourier Synthesis

Abstract

The problem of image reconstruction in emission tomography in an ill-posed inverse problem. The methodology FRECT (Fourier regularized computed tomography) allows not only for a priori analysis of the stability of the reconstruction process but also for an exact definition of the resolution in the slices. Its natural regularization parameter, namely the cutoff frequency  ν of the filter underlying the definition of the FRECT solution, can be calibrated by estimating the condition number for a range of values of  ν . We first outline the methodology FRECT. We then discuss the numerical strategies which can be implemented in order to estimate the condition numbers of large matrices. Finally, we present a few results obtained in the context of SPECT reconstructions, and discuss the possibility to determine automatically the best possible cutoff frequency from the analysis of the stability.
