PURPOSE: Depth of interaction (DOI) readout in PET imaging has been researched in efforts to mitigate parallax error, which would enable the development of small diameter, high-resolution PET scanners. However, DOI PET has not yet been commercialized...
The purpose of this work was to develop and evaluate a deep learning approach for automatic rat brain image segmentation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images in a clinical PET/MR, providing a useful tool for analyzing studies of the pathology a...

PURPOSE: Novel actuarial deep learning neural network (ADNN) architectures are proposed for joint prediction of radiation therapy outcomes-radiation pneumonitis (RP) and local control (LC)-in stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Unl...
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to test the diagnostic significance of FET-PET imaging combined with machine learning for the differentiation between multiple sclerosis (MS) and glioma II°-IV°.
The quality of reconstructed dynamic PET images, as well as the statistical reliability of the estimated pharmacokinetic parameters is often compromised by high levels of statistical noise, particularly at the voxel level. Many denoising strategies h...

PURPOSE: Tendency is to moderate the injected activity and/or reduce acquisition time in PET examinations to minimize potential radiation hazards and increase patient comfort. This work aims to assess the performance of regular full-dose (FD) synthes...
Although convolutional neural networks (CNNs) demonstrate the superior performance in denoising positron emission tomography (PET) images, a supervised training of the CNN requires a pair of large, high-quality PET image datasets. As an unsupervised ...
