Excerpt

It may have happened to many of you to take a blurry photograph—maybe the subject moved unpredictably, or (as one of us has often experienced) the autofocus switch got dislodged as the camera was knocked around in the bag. If this was a mission-critical picture, playing around with sharpening filters and kernels in Photoshop will usually make things better, at times even serviceably so. Wouldn’t it have been best to have focused appropriately to begin with, though? You bet it would have. As it turns out, things are not much different in nuclear medicine imaging. …
