This article explores the value of wall F-FDG PET/Cr imaging in the diagnosis of thyroid cancer, studies its ability to distinguish benign and malignant thyroid lesions, and seeks ways to improve the accuracy of diagnosis. The normal control group se...
The uEXPLORER total-body PET/CT system provides a very high level of detection sensitivity and simultaneous coverage of the entire body for dynamic imaging for quantification of tracer kinetics. This article describes the fundamentals and potential b...
Our study aims to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging using conditional unsupervised learning. The proposed method does not require low- and high-quality pairs for network training which can be easily appli...
BACKGROUND: Manual delineation of gross tumor volume (GTV) is essential for radiotherapy treatment planning, but it is time-consuming and suffers inter-observer variability (IOV). In clinics, CT, PET, and MRI are used to inform delineation accuracy d...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Body composition analysis on CT images is a valuable tool for sarcopenia assessment. We aimed to develop and validate a deep neural network applicable to whole-body CT images of PET-CT scan for the automatic volumetric segmentation...
This study set out to investigate various deep learning frameworks for PET attenuation correction in the sinogram domain. Different models for both time-of-flight (TOF) and non-TOF PET emission data were implemented, including direct estimation of th...

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms based on deep convolutional networks have demonstrated remarkable success for image transformation tasks. State-of-the-art results have been achieved by generative adversarial networks (GANs) and tr...
To develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based method for the detection of focal skeleton/bone marrow uptake (BMU) in patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) undergoing staging with FDG-PET/CT. The results of the AI in a separate test group were comp...
