Donald L. Snyder, Ph.D. Professor Department of Electrical Engineering Institute for Biomedical Computing Department of Radiology Statistical methods for the restoration of images with digital computers are useful in a wide variety of contexts. Such methods are used in emission tomography for studying physiochemical processes in the body through images depicting the space-time variation of radioactive tracers that are active in the processes of interest.
Statistical methods permit more quantitative images to be formed than with conventional methods.
The Electronic Systems and Signals Research Laboratory in the Department of Electrical Engineering addresses the development and evaluation of new restoration methods through the use of mathematical models and statistical methods.
