Statistical AspectsStatistical Aspects
• Not only does the sampling pose a problem, Not only does the sampling pose a problem, but the statistical density, or lack thereof but the statistical density, or lack thereof (especially in nuclear medicine) poses a (especially in nuclear medicine) poses a “noise problem”.“noise problem”.
• Noise can be thought of as the small, Noise can be thought of as the small, random fluctuations that appear across the random fluctuations that appear across the image. image.
