Abstract:
A method and a system automatically perform an image reconstruction of a biological object. The method includes acquiring at different time points t_i signal data for imaging the biological object and clustering a set of data in connection with the acquired signal data. The clustering includes constructing a matrix C, wherein an element Ci,j of the matrix C is the value n_j of one of the data of the dataset acquired at the time point t_i, and then performing a similarity clustering based on the matrix C. At least one of the clusters is selected and determining for each of the time points t_i that are part of the cluster all acquired signal data that have been acquired within a predefined temporal threshold with respect to the considered time point t_i. The image reconstruction of the biological object is performed with the previously determined acquired signal data.
