摘要: Parametric images generated from dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) studies are useful for presenting functional/biological information in the 3-dimensional space, but usually suffer their high sensitivity to image noise. To improve quality of these images, we proposed this study a modified linear least square (LLS) fitting method named cLLS that incorporates clustering-based spatial constraint generation parametric PET data noise levels. In method, combination K-means and hierarchical cluster analysis was used classify data. Compared with conventional LLS, can achieve statistical reliability without incurring computational burden. The effectiveness demonstrated both computer simulation human brain FDG study. is expected be
