Patent ID: 7471813

Claim:
A method for correction of scatter in an image, comprising: receiving data of an image having a scatter characteristic; performing a deconvolution procedure on the data using Hermite expansion technique; and generating modified image data based on a result from the step of performing; wherein the modified image data is generated by solving the equation p ⁡ ( x ) = φ ⁡ ( x ) + ∫ ∑ n = 1 ∞ ⁢ ( - 1 ) n ⁢ s 2 ⁢ n ⁡ ( 2 n - 1 ) ⁢ ( 4 n ⁢ n ! ) - 1 ⁢ H 2 ⁢ n ⁡ ( ( x - u ) / s ) ⁢ K ⁡ ( s , x - u ) ⁢ φ ⁡ ( u ) ⁢ ⅆ u .
