Abstract

We propose a new iterative method for Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) reconstruction of SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) images. The method uses Compound Gauss Markov Random Fields (CGMRF) as prior model and is stochastic for the line process and deterministic for the reconstruction. Synthetic and real images are used to compare the new method with existing ones.
