BACKGROUND: Low-dose (LD) myocardial perfusion (MP) SPECT suffers from high noise level, leading to compromised diagnostic accuracy. Here we investigated the denoising performance for MP-SPECT using a conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN)...
PURPOSE: Computed tomography (CT)-based attenuation correction (CTAC) in single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is highly accurate, but it requires hybrid SPECT/CT instruments and additional radiation exposure. To obtain attenuation corre...
Quantitative single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) using Tc-99m pertechnetate aids in evaluating salivary gland function. However, gland segmentation and quantitation of gland uptake is challenging. We develop a sa...

Dedicated cardiac SPECT scanners with cadmium-zinc-telluride cameras have shown capabilities for shortened scan times or reduced radiation doses, as well as improved image quality. Since most dedicated scanners do not have integrated CT, image quanti...
BACKGROUND: Currently there is an ever increasing interest in Lu-177 targeted radionuclide therapies, which target neuro-endocrine and prostate tumours. For a patient-specific treatment, an individual dosimetry based on SPECT/CT imaging is necessary....
The accurate detection of radioactive iodine-avid lymph node (LN) metastasis on I post-ablation whole-body planar scans (RxWBSs) is important in tracking the progression of the metastatic lymph nodes (mLNs) of patients with papillary thyroid cancer (...
Quantitative SPECT/CT is potentially useful for more accurate and reliable measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) than conventional planar scintigraphy. However, manual drawing of a volume of interest (VOI) on renal parenchyma in CT images i...
