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.
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.
