Abstract: For controlling reconstruction in emission tomography, the quality of data for detected emissions and/or the application controls the settings used in reconstruction. For example, a count density of the detected emissions is used to control the number of iterations in reconstruction to more likely avoid over and under fitting. The count density may be adaptively determined by re-binning through pixel size adjustment to find a smallest pixel size providing a sufficient count density. As another example, the detected data may have poor quality due to motion or high body mass index (BMI) of the patient, so the reconstruction is set to perform differently (e.g., less smoothing for high motion or a different number of iterations for high BMI). The quality of the data may be used in conjunction with the application or task for imaging the patient to control the reconstruction.

Abstract: Systems for cloud-based storage systems. Embodiments commence upon deploying a server in a cloud-based environment, such that the server is configured to interface with one or more storage facilities that are accessible over a network by the server to provide cloud-based storage services in response to a storage command originating from a user terminal. The deployed server is connected to the network such that the server receives storage commands that pertain to one or more source objects that are associated with a set of source attributes. A policy manager applies one or more source-aware storage policies by determining a set of storage policies based at least in part on the one or more associated source attributes. The policy manager accesses a routing table of target storage locations and, in accordance with the source-aware policies, sends source objects over the network to one or more of the target storage locations.
