AIM: To evaluate a deep learning-based time-of-flight (DLToF) model trained to enhance the image quality of non-ToF PET images for different tracers, reconstructed using BSREM algorithm, towards ToF images.
INTRODUCTION: Multiplexed PET imaging revolutionized clinical decision-making by simultaneously capturing various radiotracer data in a single scan, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and patient comfort. Through a transformer-based deep learning, this st...
OBJECTIVES: Attenuation correction (AC) is crucial for ensuring the quantitative accuracy of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. However, obtaining accurate μ-maps from brain-dedicated PET scanners without AC acquisition mechanism is challeng...
