We aim to synthesize brain time-of-flight (TOF) PET images/sinograms from their corresponding non-TOF information in the image space (IS) and sinogram space (SS) to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast of abnormalities, and decrease ...

BACKGROUND: Extracting metastatic information from previous radiologic-text reports is important, however, laborious annotations have limited the usability of these texts. We developed a deep-learning model for extracting primary lung cancer sites an...
OBJECTIVES: The prediction of primary treatment failure (PTF) is necessary for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) since it serves as a prominent means for improving front-line outcomes. Using interim F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose ([F]FDG) ...
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 PE...
Clinical PET/CT examinations rely on CT modality for anatomical localization and attenuation correction of the PET data. However, the use of CT significantly increases the risk of ionizing radiation exposure for patients. We propose a deep learning f...

OBJECTIVES: Recent studies have shown that deep learning based on pre-treatment positron emission tomography (PET) or computed tomography (CT) is promising for distant metastasis (DM) and overall survival (OS) prognosis in head and neck cancer (HNC)....
OBJECTIVE: We aim to propose a deep learning-based method of automated segmentation of eight brain anatomical regions in head computed tomography (CT) images obtained during positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans. The brain r...
