Abstract: A system for locating an object in a volume of space can include an electrical device having multiple antennae, and a switch coupled to the antennae. The system can also include a controller communicably coupled to the switch. The controller can measure, at a first time, a first parameter of a signal received at a first antenna. The controller can also operate the switch from a first position to a second position, where the first position enables the first antenna, and where the second position enables a second antenna. The controller can further measure, at a second time, a second parameter of the signal received at the second antenna. The controller can also determine, using the first parameter and the second parameter, a multi-dimensional location of the object in the volume of space.

Abstract: Patient imaging systems, such as PET imaging systems, for example, may suffer from the introduction of artificially introduced noise. This noise is, typically, introduced during iterations of reconstruction algorithms, such as the least-squares algorithms, which attempts to recreate a 2D or a 3D image from raw acquisition information. The noise appears as “hot-spots” in the reconstructed image. Approaches to address these artefacts use filtering approaches. Typically, a least-squares reconstruction is supplemented with a penalty term, an approach known as “Relative Difference Penalty”. The penalty parameter causes the reconstruction algorithm to filter more or less strongly at certain regions of the reconstruction. The present application proposes an approach which supplements the penalty term with continuous probability information about the likelihood of an edge being present in a portion of an image.
