. Deep learning denoising networks are typically trained with images that are representative of the testing data. Due to the large variability of the noise levels in positron emission tomography (PET) images, it is challenging to develop a proper tra...
PURPOSE: To compare the performances of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) in improving the quality of low dose (LD) lung cancer PET images and the minimum counts required.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has become a preferred imaging modality for cancer diagnosis, radiotherapy planning, and treatment responses monitoring. Accurate and automatic tumor segmentation is the fundamental requirement for these clinical ap...
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...
. Monolithic scintillator crystals coupled to silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) arrays are promising detectors for PET applications, offering spatial resolution around 1 mm and depth-of-interaction information. However, their timing resolution has alway...
We investigate the use of 3D convolutional neural networks for gamma arrival time estimation in monolithic scintillation detectors.The required data is obtained by Monte Carlo simulation in GATE v8.2, based on a 50 × 50 × 16 mmmonolithic LYSO crystal...
