This study introduces a new variational framework for positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction, utilizing Mumford-Shah regularization and an L1 data fidelity term. The method effectively suppresses noise, demonstrating feasibility and efficiency in numerical comparisons.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Science
  • Image Processing

Background:

  • Positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction requires regularization to mitigate noise.
  • Conventional methods like penalized least-square (PLS) with Huber penalty are widely used.
  • Existing regularization techniques can be computationally intensive or may not optimally balance noise reduction and detail preservation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel variational framework for PET image reconstruction.
  • To incorporate Mumford-Shah (MS) regularization with an L1 data fidelity term.
  • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of PET image reconstruction by reducing noise while preserving image details.

Main Methods:

  • A new variational framework for PET image reconstruction was formulated.

    • The proposed method demonstrated feasibility in PET image reconstruction.
    • Numerical studies indicated the efficiency of the new algorithm.
    • The method showed comparable or superior performance to conventional penalized least-square (PLS) algorithms with Huber penalty in noise suppression and detail preservation.

    Conclusions:

    • The adapted Mumford-Shah regularization within a variational framework offers a promising approach for PET image reconstruction.
    • The use of L1 data fidelity and Gamma-convergence approximation enhances computational efficiency and numerical stability.
    • This novel method provides an effective strategy for noise reduction in PET imaging, leading to improved image quality.
