dc.description.abstract | We consider the task of detecting a statistically varying signal of known location on a statistically varying background in a reconstructed tomographic image. We analyze the performance of linear observer models in this task. We show that, if one chooses a suitable reconstruction method, a broad family of linear observers can exactly achieve the optimal detection performance attainable with any combination of a linear observer and linear reconstructor. This conclusion encompasses several well-known observer models from the literature, including models with a frequency-selective channel mechanism and certain types of internal noise. Interestingly, the "optimal" reconstruction methods are unregularized and in some cases quite unconventional. These results suggest that, for the purposes of designing regularized reconstruction methods that optimize lesion detectability, known-location tasks are of limited use. | en_US |
