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...
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...
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...
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...

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, ...
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...

PURPOSE: Our purpose was to develop a deep learning-based computed tomography (CT) perfusion mapping (DL-CTPM) method that synthesizes lung perfusion images from CT images.
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...
