Reducing scan times, radiation dose, and enhancing image quality for lower-performance scanners, are critical in low-dose PET imaging. Deep learning techniques have been investigated for PET image denoising. However, existing models have…

Tau positron emission tomography (tau-PET) is an important in vivo biomarker of Alzheimer's disease, but its cost, limited availability, and acquisition burden restrict broad clinical use. This work proposes an interpretable multimodal…

Background and purpose: In-beam Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is one of the modalities that can be used for in-vivo non-invasive treatment monitoring in proton therapy. PET distributions obtained during various treatment sessions can…

We propose a deconvolution algorithm for images blurred and degraded by a Poisson noise. The algorithm uses a fast proximal backward-forward splitting iteration. This iteration minimizes an energy which combines a \textit{non-linear} data…

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a well-established functional imaging technique for diagnosing brain disorders. However, PET's high costs and radiation exposure limit its widespread use. In contrast, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)…

Studies of the human brain during natural activities, such as locomotion, would benefit from the ability to image deep brain structures during these activities. While Positron Emission Tomography (PET) can image these structures, the bulk…

The objective of this study was to develop a PET tumor-segmentation framework that addresses the challenges of limited spatial resolution, high image noise, and lack of clinical training data with ground-truth tumor boundaries in PET…

An image or volume of interest in positron emission tomography (PET) is reconstructed from pairs of gamma rays emitted from a radioactive substance. Many image reconstruction methods are based on estimation of pixels or voxels on some…

Purpose: Neural network image reconstruction directly from measurement data is a relatively new field of research, that until now has been limited to producing small single-slice images (e.g., 1x128x128). This paper proposes a novel and…

Achieving high image quality for temporal frames in dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) is challenging due to the limited statistic especially for the short frames. Recent studies have shown that deep learning (DL) is useful in a…

Positron emission tomography (PET) is an advanced medical imaging technique that plays a crucial role in non-invasive clinical diagnosis. However, while reducing radiation exposure through low-dose PET scans is beneficial for patient…

Sequential whole-body 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scans are regarded as the imaging modality of choice for the assessment of treatment response in the lymphomas because they detect treatment response when…

Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) enables material-specific imaging through acquisitions at two different X-ray energy spectra. Material decomposition from DECT data is an ill-posed inverse problem that is highly sensitive to noise…

Dynamic positron emission tomography (dPET) is currently a widely used medical imaging technique for the clinical diagnosis, staging and therapy guidance of all kinds of human cancers. Higher temporal imaging resolution for the early stage…
