    Abstract: A method for improving clinical data quality in Positron Emission Tomography (PET). The method provides for the processing of PET data to accurately and efficiently determine a data signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) corresponding to each individual clinical patient scan, as a function of a singles rate in a PET scanner. The method relates an injected dose to the singles rate to determine SNR(Dinj), and provides an accurate estimate of a quantity proportional to SNR, similar in function to the SNR(Dinj). Knowledge of SNR(Dinj) permits determination of peak SNR, optimal dose, SNR deficit, dose deficit, and differential dose benefit. The patient dose is fractionated, with a small calibration dose given initially. After a short uptake, the patient is pre-scanned to determine T, S, and R. An optimal dose is then determined and the remainder injected.

    Abstract: Systems and methods augment a target media with a plurality of source media. The target media and source media are processed to form time frequency distributions (TFDs). Target features are extracted from the associated TFD and source features are extracted from each of the associated source TFDs. The target features are segmented into temporal portions that are compared with each of the plurality of source features to determine one or more matched source features having nearest matches to the target feature segments. Portions of the source media associated with the matched source features are mixed with the target media to form an augmented target media, wherein the mixing is based upon a probabilistic mixing algorithm that uses a distance between the matched target feature and source features to define an amplitude of each portion of the source media.
