PURPOSE: Dopamine transporter (DAT) SPECT imaging is routinely used in the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Our previous efforts demonstrated the use of DAT SPECT images in a data-driven manner by improving prediction of PD clinical assessment ...
In clinical brain SPECT, correction for photon attenuation in the patient is essential to obtain images which provide quantitative information on the regional activity concentration per unit volume (kBq.[Formula: see text]). This correction generally...

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...
A method is proposed to model by a generative adversarial network the distribution of particles exiting a patient during Monte Carlo simulation of emission tomography imaging devices. The resulting compact neural network is then able to generate part...
SPECT nuclear medicine imaging is widely used for treating, diagnosing, evaluating and preventing various serious diseases. The automated classification of medical images is becoming increasingly important in developing computer-aided diagnosis syste...

PURPOSE: Deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) for single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) has been used to improve the diagnostic accuracy of coronary artery disease (CAD). This study was to design an...
PURPOSE: Our aim was to develop and validate a machine learning (ML)-based approach for interpretation of I-123 FP-CIT SPECT scans to discriminate Parkinson's disease (PD) from non-PD and to determine its generalizability and clinical value in two ce...
AIM: To investigate the feasibility of reducing the scan time of paediatric technetium 99m (Tc) dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) single-photon-emission computed tomographic (SPECT) using a deep learning (DL) method.

Accurate diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease (PD) at its early stages remains a challenge for modern clinicians. In this study, we utilize a convolutional neural network (CNN) approach to address this problem. In particular, we develop a CNN-based netwo...
PURPOSE: Post-reconstruction filtering is often applied for noise suppression due to limited data counts in myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). We study a deep learning (DL) approach for denoisi...
