To introduce and evaluate similarity-regulated ordered subsets expectation maximization (SR-OS-EM) for faster SPECT reconstruction in low-activity regions without inducing image artifacts.
Designed an algorithm that dynamically adapts the subset count for each voxel based on the similarity of updates across different subsets.
Tested the algorithm's performance and convergence properties using an image quality phantom and in vivo SPECT scans relative to count-regulated OS-EM (CR-OS-EM).
Accelerated reconstruction speed by up to an order of magnitude in low-activity regions compared to CR-OS-EM while preventing activity erasure artifacts.
Demonstrated robust operation using identical reconstruction parameters and iteration numbers across diverse count levels, requiring only standard post-filtering.
