Abstract

Statistical methods in the spatial, wavelet and Fourier domain were applied to two groups of subjects imaged by PET. Furthermore, simulated PET images were created to study the behaviour of these tests under restricted conditions. In particular, a rigorous statistical model in the Fourier domain was used to study general properties of group images, image enhancement and discrimination as it pertains to classification. In the spatial domain, detection of localized differences between groups is presented by applying the recent extension of the theory of Gaussian random fields to medical imaging. Finally, comparisons are made of the Fourier, spatial and wavelet domain methods for detection of localized differences between groups.
