We propose a method using total variation (TV) regularization in deconvolution for partial volume correction in PET imaging. In the degraded image model, we used TV regularization procedure in Van Cittert (VC) and Richardson-Lucy (RL) deconvolution algorithms. These methods were tested in simulated NCAT images and images of NEMA NU4-2008 IQ phantom and tumor-bearing mouse scanned by Simens Invoen microPET. The simulated experiment and tumor-bearing mouse experiment showed that the algorithms using TV regularization provided superior qualitative and quantitative appearance compared with traditional VC and RL algorithms. When the mean intensity of the tumor increased by (10±1.8)%, the SD increase percentage was decreased from 49.98% to 14.26% and from 42.76% to 4.70%, suggesting the efficiency of the proposed algorithms for reducing PVEs in PET.

Motivation: Spatial transcriptomics (ST) technologies have revolutionized our ability to map gene expression patterns within native tissue context, providing unprecedented insights into tissue architecture and cellular heterogeneity. However, accurately deconvolving cell-type compositions from ST spots remains challenging due to the sparse and averaged nature of ST data, which is essential for accurately depicting tissue architecture. While numerous computational methods have been developed for cell-type deconvolution and spatial distribution reconstruction, most fail to capture tissue complexity at the single-cell level, thereby limiting their applicability in practical scenarios.

Over the last decades, a few strategies have been proposed to deconvolve the temporal instrument response function (IRF) that distorts the experimental time-resolved data. However, these methods require burdensome computational strategies and regularization terms to mitigate noise contributions.

Purpose: Our objective was to assess a deconvolution and denoising technique based on Legendre polynomials compared to matrix deconvolution on dynamic F-FDG renography of healthy patients.
Method: The study was carried out and compared to the data of 24 healthy patients from a published study who underwent examinations with Tc-MAG3 planar scintigraphy and F-FDG PET/MRI. Due to corruption issues in some data used in the published article, post-publication measurements were provided.

Article Synopsis
- Intraoperative 2D quantitative angiography (QA) for detecting intracranial aneurysms faces accuracy challenges due to inconsistencies in hand-injection techniques, prompting the exploration of singular value decomposition (SVD) algorithms as a potential solution.
- This study aims to adapt SVD-based deconvolution methods from computed tomography perfusion (CTP) to improve the reliability and accuracy of hemodynamic assessments in 2D QA, independent of variable injection conditions.
- By analyzing virtual angiograms from internal carotid aneurysm cases, the research applies various SVD methods to extract key flow parameters and evaluate the effects of injection duration and inlet velocity on QA outcomes.
