Over the last years convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown remarkable results in different image classification tasks, including medical imaging. One area that has been less explored with CNNs is Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Fluorodeo...
Deriving accurate attenuation maps for PET/MRI remains a challenging problem because MRI voxel intensities are not related to properties of photon attenuation and bone/air interfaces have similarly low signal. This work presents a learning-based meth...
Recently, deep neural networks have been widely and successfully applied in computer vision tasks and have attracted growing interest in medical imaging. One barrier for the application of deep neural networks to medical imaging is the need for large...
Purpose To reduce radiotracer requirements for amyloid PET/MRI without sacrificing diagnostic quality by using deep learning methods. Materials and Methods Forty data sets from 39 patients (mean age ± standard deviation [SD], 67 years ± 8), including...
Positron emission tomography (PET) has been substantially used recently. To minimize the potential health risk caused by the tracer radiation inherent to PET scans, it is of great interest to synthesize the high-quality PET image from the low-dose on...
Purpose To develop and validate a deep learning algorithm that predicts the final diagnosis of Alzheimer disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment, or neither at fluorine 18 (F) fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET of the brain and compare its performance to t...
PET image reconstruction is challenging due to the ill-poseness of the inverse problem and limited number of detected photons. Recently, the deep neural networks have been widely and successfully used in computer vision tasks and attracted growing in...
Utilizing the publicly available neuroimaging database enabled by Alzheimer's disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI; http://adni.loni.usc.edu/ ), we have compared the performance of automated classification algorithms that differentiate AD vs. normal...

Attenuation correction is a notable challenge associated with simultaneous PET/MRI, particularly in neuroimaging, where sharp boundaries between air and bone volumes exist. This challenge leads to concerns about the visual and, more specifically, qua...
