Accurate delineation of the intraprostatic gross tumor volume (GTV) is a prerequisite for treatment approaches in patients with primary prostate cancer (PCa). Prostate-specific membrane antigen PET (PSMA PET) may outperform MRI in GTV detection. Howe...

PURPOSE: PET measures of amyloid and tau pathologies are powerful biomarkers for the diagnosis and monitoring of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Because cortical regions are close to bone, quantitation accuracy of amyloid and tau PET imaging can be signifi...

PURPOSE: Amyloid PET which has been widely used for noninvasive assessment of cortical amyloid burden is visually interpreted in the clinical setting. As a fast and easy-to-use visual interpretation support system, we analyze whether the deep learnin...
The susceptibility of MRI to metallic objects leads to void MR signal and missing information around metallic implants. In addition, body truncation occurs in MR imaging for large patients who exceed the transaxial field-of-view of the scanner. Body ...
In the last two decades, it has been shown that anatomically-guided PET reconstruction can lead to improved bias-noise characteristics in brain PET imaging. However, despite promising results in simulations and first studies, anatomically-guided PET ...
Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility of reducing noise with deep learning-based methods for low-dose fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET). This work aimed to investigate the feasibility of noise reduction for trac...
We developed a machine learning framework in order to establish the correlation between dose and activity distributions in proton therapy. A recurrent neural network was used to predict dose distribution in three dimensions based on the information o...
Artificial intelligence and machine learning based approaches are increasingly finding their way into various areas of nuclear medicine imaging. With the technical development of new methods and the expansion to new fields of application, this trend ...
Parallax error is a common issue in high-resolution preclinical positron emission tomography (PET) scanners as well as in clinical scanners that have a long axial field of view (FOV), which increases estimation uncertainty of the annihilation positio...
