Imaging system and method are presented. Emission scan (ES) and anatomical scan (AS) data corresponding to a target volume in a subject are received. One or more at least partial AS images are reconstructed using AS data. An image-space certainty (IC) map representing a confidence level (CL) for attenuation coefficients of selected voxels in AS images and a preliminary attenuation (PA) map based on AS images are generated. One or more of selected attenuation factors (AF) in projection-space are initialized based on PA map. A projection-space certainty (PC) map representing CL for the selected AF is generated based on IC map. An emission image of the target volume is initialized. The selected AF and emission image are iteratively updated based on the ES data, PC map, initial AF, and/or initial emission image. A desired emission image and/or AF values are determined based on the iteratively updated AF and/or emission image.

The invention relates to a light emitting keyboard. The light emitting keyboard comprises a base board, a light source circuit layer, a switch circuit layer with a plurality of switch units, and a plurality of key caps which correspond with the plurality of switch units. Each key cap has a transparent area and a key cap projection space. A key cap gap, a plurality of light emitting assemblies in each key cap projection space and a plurality of light guiding plates are arranged between two adjacent key caps, wherein the plurality of light guiding plates are arranged in the key cap projection spaces in a manner of being separated from each other. A light guiding plate gap is arranged between two adjacent light guiding plates. The light guiding plate clearance at least extends below the key cap gap. The plurality of light emitting assemblies correspond with the plurality of light guiding plates, thereby supplying light to corresponding light inlet surfaces of the light guiding plates. Furthermore each light guiding plate guides the light to be emitted out of each upper light outlet surface, thereby emitting the light out of the transparent area of the corresponding key cap. Therefore, the light guiding plates which are separated from each other form an independent light guiding mechanism, thereby limiting the light so that the light can only be transmitted in the corresponding key cap projection space and preventing optical interference between adjacent buttons.
