EM reconstruction algorithms for emission and transmission tomography.

K Lange, R Carson

    Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography
    |April 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study introduces two new likelihood models for emission and transmission image reconstruction, accurately accounting for photon noise. These models utilize expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms for precise parameter estimation in tomography.
