Abstract: The present disclosure relates to correcting misalignment of image data within an overlap region in acquired scan data. By way of example, systems and methods for applying a post-reconstruction interpolation are described to correct mis-registration of features within overlap regions in either sequentially acquired axial scans or single scan acquisitions.

Abstract: A SiPM readout circuit includes a front-end circuit having amplifiers coupled to SiPM analog outputs, pixel readout channels coupled to amplifiers provide a timing signal representing gamma ray photon detection in individual SiPM, a block timing channel that creates a summed signal from all SiPMs, and generates a block timing signal and a validation signal, an energy channel that generates a summed energy signal and a two-dimensional position of the gamma ray photon detection in the block, and a control logic/processing circuit that performs a time stamp estimation method. Methods of determining the radiation event timing and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-readable instructions to implement the methods are disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for medical imaging systems. In one embodiment, a method comprises estimating an external scatter contamination in emission data based on an estimated emission activity originating from anatomies outside a field-of-view (FOV) of a scanner, the anatomies identified based on an image segmentation analysis performed on an image generated in the imaging system, the image generated prior to acquiring the emission data. In this way, a scatter correction applied to the emission data may include both scatter originating within the FOV and outside the FOV, and hence may be more accurate.

Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a computer system for identifying user preferences and changing settings of a device based on natural language processing. One or more programs running in background on the device capture an input of natural language from a user of the device, match the input of the natural language to a user frustration, map the user frustration to one or more solutions that make one or more changes of settings on the device, apply the one or more changes of settings to set user preference settings on the device, and store the user preference settings in a common store for the user.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are utilized to improve the timing performance of SiPM based PET detectors with light-sharing configuration. The universal readout design utilizes adaptive group readout to process noisy and slow signals generated by SiPM devices, and provides enhanced timing capabilities with simplified readout electronics.
