Rapid calculation of detectability in Bayesian single photon emission computed tomography
Abstract
We consider the calculation of lesion detectability using a mathematical model observer, the channelized Hotelling observer (CHO), in a signal-known-exactly/background-known-exactly detection task for single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). We focus on SPECT images reconstructed with Bayesian maximum a posteriori methods. While model observers are designed to replace time-consuming studies using human observers, the calculation of...
