In this paper, we investigate the problem of finding a sparse sensor and actuator (S/A) schedule that minimizes the approximation error between the input-output behavior of the fully sensed/actuated bilinear system and the system with the scheduling. The quality of this approximation is measured by an ℋ 2 -like metric, which is defined for a bilinear (time-varying) system with S/A scheduling based on the discrete Laplace transform of its Volterra kernels. First, we discuss the difficulties of designing S/A schedules for bilinear systems, which prevented us from finding a polynomial time algorithm for solving the problem. We then propose a polynomial-time S/A scheduling heuristic that selects a fraction of sensors and node actuators at each time step while maintaining a small approximation error between the input-output behavior of the fully sensed/actuated system and the one with S/A scheduling in this ℋ 2 -based sense. Numerical experiments illustrate the good approximation quality of our proposed methods.

Positron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging method for cancer, heart disease, and neurological disorders. PET images are reconstructed from emitted positron data using complex mathematical algorithms, among which ordered subset algorithms, including ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM) and block sequential regularized expectation maximization (BSREM), are commonly employed. OSEM provides faster image reconstruction but with higher noise, while BSREM offers improved image quality, and reduced noise, albeit at the cost of increased computational complexity. To improve the accuracy and quality of OSEM-reconstructed brain PET images while maintaining time efficiency, we utilized a generative adversarial network (GAN) to enhance OSEM images to a level of quality and accuracy comparable to that of images generated by the BSREM algorithm. We collected 18 FDG PET scans from Alzheimer’s disease patients, which were preprocessed into a list-mode format and reconstructed using OSEM with 2 iterations and 2 subsets, and BSREM with 25 iterations. We trained a cGAN model, consisting of a U-net generator and a discriminator that received OSEM-reconstructed PET images as input, BSREM images as the target, and generated higher quality and accuracy PET images as output. Results were evaluated using PSNR, SSIM, and NRMSE. Using the cGAN model, we improved the SNR and contrast of the OSEM-reconstructed PET images with a 17% enhancement in the PSNR and a 60% decrease in the NRMSE, although the SSIM was not significantly improved. Our findings show that the GAN model can convert low-SNR, low-contrast OSEM images to high-quality, high-accuracy images similar to those generated by the BSREM algorithm. This approach offers potential advantages in achieving the image quality and accuracy of BSREM with the shorter reconstruction time of OSEM.

Developing positron emission tomography (PET) systems with high channel number has driven the need for application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) owing to their compactness, multi-channel readout capability, and excellent time and energy resolution performance. They can also be quite flexible by employing field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) in the readout circuit. In particular, the ASIC+FPGA approach provides a high performance and compact solution for TOF-PET applications. ASICs serve functions of extracting time and energy information from analog SiPM signals, and an FPGA is employed for other application-specific requirements like on-board chip configuration, communication with data acquisition (DAQ) systems, and system monitoring. Based on this foundation, we developed TOF-capable detector modules for our second generation RF-penetrable PET insert. During our previous experiments, we found that different trigger and readout methods lead to different noise pattern and intensity in MR environment, and also have different singles count loss ratio. This paper aims to study and compare different readout configurations for our MR-compatible detectors. We studied four trigger and readout methods: hit-standard, frequent-standard, hit-bypass, and frequent-bypass, and compared their singles count loss ratios with both theoretical models and experimental results. For all four methods, the theoretical results matched the experimental results well. The two methods which used bypass mode performed better than those using the standard mode approach. With the most optimized trigger and readout method (hit-bypass), we achieved 1.2% singles count loss ratio at a 20 kcps count rate per channel.

We give a proof of an extension of the Hartman-Grobman theorem to nonhyperbolic but asymptotically stable equilibria of vector fields. Moreover, the linearizing topological conjugacy is (i) defined on the entire basin of attraction if the vector field is complete, and (ii) a C k ≥ 1 -diffeomorphism on the complement of the equilibrium if the vector field is C k and the underlying space is not 5-dimensional. We also show that the C k statement in the 5-dimensional case is equivalent to the 4-dimensional smooth Poincaré conjecture.
