Abstract

PURPOSE: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) can support a diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorder by identifying disease-specific pathologies. Our aim was to investigate the feasibility of using activity reduction in clinical [F]FE-PE2I and [C]PiB PET/CT scans, simulating low injected activity or scanning time reduction, in combination with AI-assisted denoising.
