PURPOSE: Standardized uptake value ratio (SUVr) used to quantify amyloid-β burden from amyloid-PET scans can be biased by variations in the tracer's nonspecific (NS) binding caused by the presence of cerebrovascular disease (CeVD). In this work, we p...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cortical amyloid quantification on PET by using the standardized uptake value ratio is valuable for research studies and clinical trials in Alzheimer disease. However, it is resource intensive, requiring co-registered MR imagi...
PET attenuation correction (AC) on systems lacking CT/transmission scanning, such as dedicated brain PET scanners and hybrid PET/MRI, is challenging. Direct AC in image-space, wherein PET images corrected for attenuation and scatter are synthesized f...

PURPOSE: Although most deep learning (DL) studies have reported excellent classification accuracy, these studies usually target typical Alzheimer's disease (AD) and normal cognition (NC) for which conventional visual assessment performs well. A clini...
Purpose To reduce radiotracer requirements for amyloid PET/MRI without sacrificing diagnostic quality by using deep learning methods. Materials and Methods Forty data sets from 39 patients (mean age ± standard deviation [SD], 67 years ± 8), including...

Attenuation correction is a notable challenge associated with simultaneous PET/MRI, particularly in neuroimaging, where sharp boundaries between air and bone volumes exist. This challenge leads to concerns about the visual and, more specifically, qua...
Presence of pigments and dyes in water bodies are growing tremendously and pose as toxic materials and have severe health effects on human and aquatic creatures. Treatments methods for removal of these toxic dyes along with other pollutants are growi...
