Abstract

PURPOSE: Our goal was to use a generative adversarial network (GAN) with feature matching and task-specific perceptual loss to synthesize standard-dose amyloid Positron emission tomography (PET) images of high quality and including accurate pathological features from ultra-low-dose PET images only.
