    This study introduces a new mathematical model for emission tomography (ET) and an algorithm to accurately reconstruct emission density. The method improves upon previous models by distinguishing ET physics for better imaging.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Physics
    • Mathematical Modeling

    Background:

    • Existing emission tomography (ET) models do not differentiate between ET and transmission tomography physics.
    • Accurate reconstruction of emission density is crucial for advanced imaging applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a more accurate general mathematical model for emission tomography (ET).
    • To introduce an algorithm for estimating emission density that maximizes the probability of observed detector data.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a novel mathematical model for ET, distinguishing its physics from transmission tomography.
    • Utilized an Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm for iterative estimation of emission density.
    • Modeled emissions as independent Poisson variables with unknown means, detected with a known transition probability matrix.
