Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Engineering
  • Medical Imaging Physics
  • Computational Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate localization of unidentified radiation sources is crucial for safety and analysis.
  • Coded aperture cameras offer a method for radiation imaging but require precise algorithms for source positioning.
  • Existing Maximum Likelihood Expectation Maximization (MLEM) algorithms have limitations in distance estimation and localization accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To enhance the precision of radiation source localization using a coded aperture camera.
  • To develop a refined MLEM algorithm incorporating a dichotomy method for accurate distance estimation.
  • To improve the positional accuracy and define the distance range of radiation sources.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a refined MLEM algorithm integrating the dichotomy method for source distance estimation.
  • Constructed a system response matrix table with potential source-camera distances.
  • Employed binary search on the matrix table to find distance bounds and aggregated system matrices for MLEM.
  • Assessed Mean Square Error (MSE) and Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) for distance validation.

Main Results:

  • The enhanced MLEM algorithm demonstrated superior localization accuracy compared to the conventional MLEM.
  • A definable distance range (nearest lower and upper bounds) between the source and camera was established.
  • Satisfactory reconstruction was achieved for single sources and multiple sources at the same distance.
  • Reconstruction of multiple sources at differing distances requires further improvement.

Conclusions:

  • The refined MLEM algorithm significantly enhances radiation source localization precision and distance definition.
  • This method provides a more robust tool for hotspot analysis in radiation imaging.
  • Future work should focus on improving the reconstruction of multiple sources at varying distances.
