Nuclear medicine imaging modalities such as PET and SPECT are confounded by high noise levels and low spatial resolution, necessitating postreconstruction image enhancement to improve their quality and quantitative accuracy. Artificial intelligence (...
Low-count positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is challenging because of the ill-posedness of this inverse problem. Previous studies have demonstrated that deep learning (DL) holds promise for achieving improved low-count PET image quality. How...
OBJECTIVE: Deep learning approaches have attracted attention for improving the scoring accuracy in computed tomography-less single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). In this study, we proposed a novel deep learning approach referring to pos...
OBJECTIVES: A deep learning (DL) model using image data from pretreatment [ 18 F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([ 18 F] FDG)-PET or computed tomography (CT) augmented with a novel imaging augmentation approach was developed for the early prediction of distant m...
Medical image synthesis represents a critical area of research in clinical decision-making, aiming to overcome the challenges associated with acquiring multiple image modalities for an accurate clinical workflow. This approach proves beneficial in es...
Positron emission tomography (PET) is vital for diagnosing diseases and monitoring treatments. Conventional image reconstruction (IR) techniques like filtered backprojection and iterative algorithms are powerful but face limitations. PET IR can be se...
BACKGROUND: Low-dose positron emission tomography (LD-PET) imaging is commonly employed in preclinical research to minimize radiation exposure to animal subjects. However, LD-PET images often exhibit poor quality and high noise levels due to the low ...
Neuroblastoma is an extremely heterogeneous tumor that commonly occurs in children. The diagnosis and treatment of this tumor pose considerable challenges due to its varied clinical presentations and intricate genetic aberrations. Presently, various ...
The integration of positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging techniques with machine learning (ML) algorithms, including deep learning (DL) models, is a promising approach. This integration enha...
PURPOSE: Positron emission tomography (PET) image quality can be improved by higher injected activity and/or longer acquisition time, but both may often not be practical in preclinical imaging. Common preclinical radioactive doses (10 MBq) have been ...
