DATA AND SCANNER SPEC GUIDED SMART FILTERING FOR LOW DOSE AND/OR HIGH RESOLUTION PET IMAGING

摘要

The following relates to noise filtering in nuclear imaging systems. In one aspect, a fully automatic noise filtering system is provided in a nuclear imaging device. In some embodiments, a filter parameter selection engine is applied to an image environment of a medical image to calculate an image filter configuration for the medical image wherein the image environment includes values for one or more of an imaging subject of the medical image, an imaging device used to acquire the medical image, and a medical context of the medical image.
