Abstract
In Chapter 2 we gave a broad overview of detectors for small-animal SPECT. At several points in that discussion, we alluded to the need for understanding the noise and other statistical factors that limit detector performance, and we saw that it was necessary to perform position estimation and other data-processing tasks that required definite statistical models. In this chapter, we introduce the statistical tools needed for these purposes.
