Denoising Tc-99m DMSA images using Denoising Convolutional Neural Network with comparison to a Block Matching Filter.

Nuclear medicine communications
INTRODUCTION: A DnCNN for image denoising trained with natural images is available in MATLAB. For Tc-99m DMSA images, any loss of clinical details during the denoising process will have serious consequences since denoised image is to be used for diag...

AI-based classification algorithms in SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging for cardiovascular diagnosis: a review.

Nuclear medicine communications
In the last few years, deep learning has made a breakthrough and established its position in machine learning classification problems in medical image analysis. Deep learning has recently displayed remarkable applicability in a range of different med...

Fuzzy logic-based moving average filters for reducing noise from Tc-99m-sestamibi parathyroid images.

Nuclear medicine communications
INTRODUCTION: The objective of the study was to use fuzzy logic-based moving average filters for reducing noise from Tc-99m-sestamibi parathyroid images and to compare its performance with classical moving average filters.

Emerging role of artificial intelligence in nuclear medicine.

Nuclear medicine communications
The role of artificial intelligence is increasing in all branches of medicine. The emerging role of artificial intelligence applications in nuclear medicine is going to improve the nuclear medicine clinical workflow in the coming years. Initial resea...

Diagnostic classification of solitary pulmonary nodules using support vector machine model based on 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose PET/computed tomography texture features.

Nuclear medicine communications
PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of a support vector machine (SVM) model built with texture features based on standard 2-[F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (F-FDG) PET in patients with solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) at a volume ...

Artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease from ioflupane-123 single-photon emission computed tomography dopamine transporter scans using transfer learning.

Nuclear medicine communications
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to identify the extent to which artificial intelligence could be used in the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease from ioflupane-123 (¹²³I) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) dopamine transporter...

Combined fuzzy logic and random walker algorithm for PET image tumor delineation.

Nuclear medicine communications
PURPOSE: The random walk (RW) technique serves as a powerful tool for PET tumor delineation, which typically involves significant noise and/or blurring. One challenging step is hard decision-making in pixel labeling. Fuzzy logic techniques have achie...
