ABSTRACT:
An image optimizing method for reducing statistical noise in medical diagnostic images constructed from data obtained by the interaction of radiation and detectors. The radiation occurs in a random manner such that the data obtained at specific locations on the detectors are only estimates of "true" values of the data at the locations. The method includes the steps of fitting a surface to each of the locations; the surface is defined by the measured values of the location and neighboring locations. The fitted surface is used to determine new values for each of the locations. It has been found that the new values are closer to the "true" values of the data at the locations than were the measured values.
