Patient motion during dynamic PET imaging can induce errors in myocardial blood flow (MBF) estimation. Motion correction for dynamic cardiac PET is challenging because the rapid tracer kinetics of 82Rb leads to substantial tracer distribution change ...
BACKGROUND: Accurate target volume delineation is a prerequisite for high-precision radiotherapy. However, manual delineation is resource-demanding and prone to interobserver variation. An automatic delineation approach could potentially save time an...

The amount of radiotracer injected into laboratory animals is still the most daunting challenge facing translational PET studies. Since low-dose imaging is characterized by a higher level of noise, the quality of the reconstructed images leaves much ...
High accuracy has been reported in deep learning classification for amyloid brain scans, an important factor in Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. However, the possibility of overfitting should be considered, as this model is fitted with sample data. The...
PURPOSE: To shorten positron emission tomography (PET) scanning time in diagnosing amyloid-β levels thus increasing the workflow in centers involving Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients.

PURPOSE: Post-stroke cognitive impairment can affect up to one third of stroke survivors. Since cognitive function greatly contributes to patients' quality of life, an objective quantitative biomarker for early prediction of dementia after stroke is ...
Recently,deep learning (DL)-based methods for the generation of synthetic computed tomography (sCT) have received significant research attention as an alternative to classical ones. We present here a systematic review of these methods by grouping the...

PURPOSE: The identification of pathological mediastinal lymph nodes is an important step in the staging of lung cancer, with the presence of metastases significantly affecting survival rates. Nodes are currently identified by a physician, but this pr...
PURPOSE: We compare the performance of three commonly used MRI-guided attenuation correction approaches in torso PET/MRI, namely segmentation-, atlas-, and deep learning-based algorithms.
Conventional positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction is achieved by the statistical iterative method. Deep learning provides another opportunity for speeding up the image reconstruction process. However, conventional deep learning-bas...
