    This study introduces a novel interpolation method for smooth background correction matrices, offering unique mathematical solutions for scintigraphic imaging. Circular boundaries provide the most accurate and efficient results for automated image processing.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Image Processing
    • Computational Mathematics

    Background:

    • Background correction is crucial for accurate quantitative analysis in scintigraphic imaging.
    • Existing interpolation methods for background correction matrices can be non-unique or contain singularities.
    • Arbitrarily shaped boundaries pose challenges for traditional interpolation techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and present an interpolation method for optimally smooth background correction matrices within arbitrary boundaries.
    • To discuss practical implementation and series expansions for square and round boundaries.
    • To evaluate the method's performance using clinical scintigraphic images and generated surfaces.

    Main Methods:
