In mathematical optimization, the ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM) method is an iterative method that is used in computed tomography.
In applications in medical imaging, the OSEM method is used for positron emission tomography, for single photon emission computed tomography, and for X-ray computed tomography.
The OSEM method is related to the expectation maximization (EM) method of statistics. The OSEM method is also related to methods of filtered back projection.
Famous quotes containing the words ordered and/or expectation:
“According to our social pyramid, all men who feel displaced racially, culturally, and/or because of economic hardships will turn on those whom they feel they can order and humiliate, usually women, children, and animals—just as they have been ordered and humiliated by those privileged few who are in power. However, this definition does not explain why there are privileged men who behave this way toward women.”
—Ana Castillo (b. 1953)
“The joy that comes past hope and beyond expectation is like no other pleasure in extent.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
