Development of three-dimensional attenuation, scatter and partial volume corrections for positron emission tomography. Automated 3D cardiac image analysis and interpretation methods including kinetic modeling of Rb-82 blood flow and F-18-FDG metabolism measurements. New isotope infusion/inhalation systems for Rb-82 and O-15-labeled tracers for control of total administered activity and activity rates. 3D reconstruction of coronary arteries and fusion of anatomic/functional images.control of infusion dose rates as well as total injected dose and volume.
