Abstract

PURPOSE: Prolonged scanning durations are one of the primary barriers to the widespread clinical adoption of dynamic Positron Emission Tomography (PET). In this paper, we developed a deep learning algorithm that capable of predicting dynamic images from dual-time-window protocols, thereby shortening the scanning time.
