Quantitative evaluation of a deep learning-based framework to generate whole-body attenuation maps using LSO background radiation in long axial FOV PET scanners.

PURPOSE: Attenuation correction is a critically important step in data correction in positron emission tomography (PET) image formation. The current standard method involves conversion of Hounsfield units from a computed tomography (CT) image to construct attenuation maps (µ-maps) at 511 keV. In this work, the increased sensitivity of long axial field-of-view (LAFOV) PET scanners was exploited to ...

Deep learning methods for enhancing cone-beam CT image quality toward adaptive radiation therapy: A systematic review.

The use of deep learning (DL) to improve cone-beam CT (CBCT) image quality has gained popularity as computational resources and algorithmic sophistication have advanced in tandem. CBCT imaging has the potential to facilitate online adaptive radiation therapy (ART) by utilizing up-to-date patient anatomy to modify treatment parameters before irradiation. Poor CBCT image quality has been an impedime...
