introduced. The methods by which PET data are reconstructed into a three-dimensional
image volume are explained, along with some of the approaches that are used to analyze …

Accurate anatomic localization of functional abnormalities seen with PET is known to be
problematic. Even though nonspecific tracers such as 18 F-FDG visualize certain normal …

Image fusion is a well-recognized and a conventional field of image processing. Image
