Abstract

UNLABELLED: This study aimed to determine whether the whole-body bone Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) recording times of around 10 min, routinely provided by a high-sensitivity 360° cadmium and zinc telluride (CZT) camera, can be further reduced by a deep-learning noise reduction (DLNR) algorithm.
