The Application of Principal Component Analysis to the Separation of Multiple Tracers in PET Images
It studies the application of PCA to the separation of multiple tracers in PET tumour images. First
up-to-95% contribution rate principal components were extracted from two different tracers under noisy circumstances
and then an equation set was established
based on time difference between different tracers and their principal components. and injection -time delay and principal components of the tracers. Then
the coefficient of principal components was obtained via linear least square. Finally
three kinds of tracer curves were attained. Experimental results show that the relative data are feasible
and the consistency between the result and raw data comes to a satisfactory 80%.
