Abstract

Factor Analysis of Medical Image Sequences (FAMIS) is presently conducted either in the function space or in the image space. A unified approach jointly using these two spaces is presented. First, the solution of a statistical model for medical image sequences leads to the determination of the optimal orthogonal decomposition of the data. Then, two symmetrical hypotheses concerning either the underlying fundamental functions or the underlying fundamental spatial distributions are derived. These hypotheses are merged in an original method to solve FAMIS physical model. Using this unified approach, a priori knowledge about functions and images can be jointly taken into account to improve the estimation of the underlying structures. Some applications of the method are illustrated on simulated data.
