INTRODUCTION: Algorithms to predict short-term changes in local weather modalities have been used in meteorology for many years. These algorithms predict the temporospatial change in the movement of weather patterns such as cloud cover or precipitati...
BACKGROUND: A variety of external factors might seriously degrade PET image quality and lead to inconsistent results. The aim of this study is to explore a potential PET image quality assessment (QA) method with deep learning (DL).

The axial field of view (FOV) is a key factor that affects the quality of PET images. Due to hardware FOV restrictions, conventional short-axis PET scanners with FOVs of 20 to 35 cm can acquire only low-quality PET (LQ-PET) images in fast scanning ti...
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally. Imaging is essential in the screening, diagnosis, staging, response assessment, and surveillance of patients with lung cancer. Subtypes of lung cancer can have distinguishing imag...

BACKGROUND: F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is valuable for determining presence of viable tumor, but is limited by geographical restrictions, radiation exposure, and high cost.
Identifying the inter-crystal scatter (ICS) events and recovering the first interaction position enables the accurate determination of the line-of-response in positron emission tomography (PET). However, conventional silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) si...
The positron emission tomography (PET) with F-flortaucipir can distinguish individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) from cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of F-flort...

Background Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR) is one of the most important indicators of disease progression in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). However, imaging markers that can effectively predict ARR are currently unavailable. In this study, we d...
Colon cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the large intestine. In the process of efficacy evaluation, postoperative recurrence prediction and metastasis monitoring of colon cancer, traditional medical image analysis methods are highly dependent...
Based on the advantages of revealing the functional status and molecular expression of tumor cells, positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has been performed in numerous types of malignant diseases for diagnosis and monitoring. However, insuffici...
