GNCG-SPECT Reconstruction

This page features some short image sequences related to my dissertation: Simultaneous Activity and Attenuation Reconstruction in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography, a Nonlinear Ill-Posed Problem. All figures in the printed version may be found under this link.
A summary of my thesis (in German) my be found here.
This page is still under developement.


The movie sequences are in animated GIF format, they are best viewed using netscape (2.0 or later) on a computer with true color graphics. Image quality on a standard 256 color display may be very poor.
