Algorithms for PET and fMRI

The Ollinger laboratory is a spacious 98 square foot facility in the neuro-imaging laboratory of the Mallinkrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.

Scatter Correction for Fully 3D PET

• Summary of results.
• Download information and software.
• The paper "Analytic correction for scatter in fully 3D PET: statistical issues" presented at the 1997 Nuclear Science Symposium in Adobe Acrobat format or in compressed postscript.

PET Tutorial

• Download a tutorial paper on the physics and signal processing issues in PET in Adobe Acrobat format or as compressed postscript. This article appeared in the January 1997 issue of Signal Processing Magazine. Its intended readers are electrical engineers with no prior knowledge of PET but a fairly sophisticated understanding of signal processing techniques. The paper begins with a description of the physics of PET data acquisition, and then discusses deterministic and statistical methods of PET image reconstruction.

Analysis of fMRI time series

• Analysis methods for fMRI time series developed in this laboratory.
