AI in SPECT Imaging: Opportunities and Challenges.

Seminars in nuclear medicine
SPECT is a widely used imaging modality in nuclear medicine which provides essential functional insights into cardiovascular, neurological, and oncological diseases. However, SPECT imaging suffers from limited quantitative accuracy due to low spatial...

Artificial Intelligence-Enhanced Perfusion Scoring Improves the Diagnostic Accuracy of Myocardial Perfusion Imaging.

Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine
We previously demonstrated that a deep learning (DL) model of myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging improved accuracy for detection of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to improve the clinical translatability of this artificial intelli...

Artificial intelligence-powered coronary artery disease diagnosis from SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging: a comprehensive deep learning study.

European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging
BACKGROUND: Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a well-established modality for noninvasive diagnostic assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the time-consuming and experience-...

Interpretation of basal nuclei in brain dopamine transporter scans using a deep convolutional neural network.

Nuclear medicine communications
OBJECTIVE: Functional imaging using the dopamine transporter (DAT) as a biomarker has proven effective in assessing dopaminergic neuron degeneration in the striatum. In assessing the neuron degeneration, visual and semiquantitative methods are used t...

Diffusion-driven multi-modality medical image fusion.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Multi-modality medical image fusion (MMIF) technology utilizes the complementarity of different modalities to provide more comprehensive diagnostic insights for clinical practice. Existing deep learning-based methods often focus on extracting the pri...

Deep learning-based CT-free attenuation correction for cardiac SPECT: a new approach.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Computed tomography attenuation correction (CTAC) is commonly used in cardiac SPECT imaging to reduce soft-tissue attenuation artifacts. However, CTAC is prone to inaccuracies due to CT artifacts and SPECT-CT mismatch, along with addition...

Incorporating label uncertainty during the training of convolutional neural networks improves performance for the discrimination between certain and inconclusive cases in dopamine transporter SPECT.

European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging
PURPOSE: Deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) hold promise for assisting the interpretation of dopamine transporter (DAT)-SPECT. For improved communication of uncertainty to the user it is crucial to reliably discriminate certain from inconclusiv...

Accuracy of deep learning-based attenuation correction in Tc-GSA SPECT/CT hepatic imaging.

Radiography (London, England : 1995)
INTRODUCTION: Attenuation correction (AC) is necessary for accurate assessment of radioactive distribution in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The method of computed tomography-based AC (CTAC) is widely used because of its accuracy...

Cardiac motion correction with a deep learning network for perfusion defect assessment in single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging.

Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology
BACKGROUND: In myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), ungated studies are used for evaluation of perfusion defects despite motion blur. We investigate the potential benefit of motion correction usi...
