Background:

  • Dynamic Positron Emission Tomography (PET) studies generate complex parametric images.
  • Existing filters for PET data often employ nonlinear wavelet procedures.
  • There is a need for improved filtering techniques to enhance the accuracy of dynamic PET analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a new wavelet-based filter for parametric images from dynamic PET studies.
  • To establish a rigorous theoretical framework for wavelet-based PET image filtering.
  • To compare the performance of the proposed filter against existing state-of-the-art methods.

Main Methods:

  • The new filter utilizes a wavelet transform, building upon previous heuristic approaches.
