Statistical Physics of Non-Thermal Phase Transitions
Statistical physics describes a wide variety of phenomena and systems when interaction forces may have different natures: mechanical, electromagnetic, strong nuclear, etc. The commonality that unites all these systems is that their belonging to statistical physics requires the presence of thermal fluctuations. In this sense these phenomena necessarily include the thermodynamic aspect. Meanw…

Motion Correction in Thoracic Positron Emission Tomography
Respiratory and cardiac motion leads to image degradation in Positron Emission Tomography (PET), which impairs quantification. In this book, the authors present approaches to motion estimation and motion correction in thoracic PET. The approaches for motion estimation are based on dual gating and mass-preserving image registration (VAMPIRE) and mass-preserving optical flow (MPOF). With mass-pre…
