Improving detection accuracy of perfusion defect in standard dose SPECT-myocardial perfusion imaging by deep-learning denoising.

Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology
BACKGROUND: We previously developed a deep-learning (DL) network for image denoising in SPECT-myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Here we investigate whether this DL network can be utilized for improving detection of perfusion defects in standard-dos...

Hahn-PCNN-CNN: an end-to-end multi-modal brain medical image fusion framework useful for clinical diagnosis.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: In medical diagnosis of brain, the role of multi-modal medical image fusion is becoming more prominent. Among them, there is no lack of filtering layered fusion and newly emerging deep learning algorithms. The former has a fast fusion spe...

Detecting lumbar lesions in Tc-MDP SPECT by deep learning: Comparison with physicians.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Tc-MDP single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is an established tool for diagnosing lumbar stress, a common cause of low back pain (LBP) in pediatric patients. However, detection of small stress lesions is complicated by the low...

Development of attenuation correction methods using deep learning in brain-perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography.

Medical physics
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...

A novel deep-learning-based approach for automatic reorientation of 3D cardiac SPECT images.

European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging
PURPOSE: Reconstructed transaxial cardiac SPECT images need to be reoriented into standard short-axis slices for subsequent accurate processing and analysis. We proposed a novel deep-learning-based method for fully automatic reorientation of cardiac ...

The promise of artificial intelligence and deep learning in PET and SPECT imaging.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
This review sets out to discuss the foremost applications of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly deep learning (DL) algorithms, in single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. To this end, ...

Attenuation correction using deep learning for brain perfusion SPECT images.

Annals of nuclear medicine
OBJECTIVE: Non-uniform attenuation correction using computed tomography (CT) improves the image quality and quantification of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). However, it is not widely used because it requires a SPECT/CT scanner. T...

Improved motor outcome prediction in Parkinson's disease applying deep learning to DaTscan SPECT images.

Computers in biology and medicine
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 ...

Automatic attenuation map estimation from SPECT data only for brain perfusion scans using convolutional neural networks.

Physics in medicine and biology
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...
