In mathematical optimization, the ordered subset expectation maximization (OSEM) method is an iterative method that is used in computer tomography.

In applications in medical imaging, the OSEM method is used for positron emission tomography, for single photon emission computed tomography, and for X-ray computed tomography.

The OSEM method is related to the expectation maximization (EM) method of statistics. The OSEM method is also related to methods of filtered back projection.
