Subject motion in whole-body dynamic PET introduces inter-frame mismatch and seriously impacts parametric imaging. Traditional non-rigid registration methods are generally computationally intense and time-consuming. Deep learning approaches…
The aim of this paper is to discuss potential advances in PET kinetic models and direct reconstruction of kinetic parameters. As a prominent example we focus on a typical task in perfusion imaging and derive a system of…
This paper addresses the problem of recovering tracer kinetic parameters from multi-region measurement data in quantitative PET imaging using the reversible two tissue compartment model. Its main result is an extension of our previous work…
Fourier ptychography microscopy(FP) is a recently developed computational imaging approach for microscopic super-resolution imaging. By turning on each light-emitting-diode (LED) located on different position on the LED array sequentially…
Compartmental models based on tracer mass balance are extensively used in clinical and pre-clinical nuclear medicine in order to obtain quantitative information on tracer metabolism in the biological tissue. This paper is the first of a…
Positron emission tomography (PET) is widely used to assess metabolic activity, but its application is limited by the availability of radiotracers. 18F-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) is the most commonly used tracer but shows limited…
Several diseases of parkinsonian syndromes present similar symptoms at early stage and no objective widely used diagnostic methods have been approved until now. Positron emission tomography (PET) with $^{18}$F-FDG was shown to be able to…
The Task Group 211 report of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) reviewed static segmentation techniques in nuclear positronemission tomography (PET) imaging used in nuclear medicine. These methods, when applied to a…
Neurological Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a critical imaging modality for diagnosing and studying neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease. However, the inherent low spatial resolution of PET images poses significant…
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…
This paper develops a method of biologically guided deep learning for post-radiation FDG-PET image outcome prediction based on pre-radiation images and radiotherapy dose information. Based on the classic reaction-diffusion mechanism, a…
Standard Patlak plot is widely used to describe FDG kinetics for dynamic PET imaging. Whole-body Patlak parametric imaging remains constrained due to the need for a full-time input function. Here, we demonstrate the Relative Patlak (RP)…
Patlak model is widely used in 18F-FDG dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, where the estimated parametric images reveal important biochemical and physiology information. Because of better noise modeling and more information…
Recent studies suggest that combined analysis of Magnetic resonance imaging~(MRI) that measures brain atrophy and positron emission tomography~(PET) that quantifies hypo-metabolism provides improved accuracy in diagnosing Alzheimer's…
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…
We developed a positron emission tomography (PET) system for multiple-isotope imaging. Our PET system, named multiple-isotope PET (MI-PET), can distinguish between different tracer nuclides using coincidence measurement of prompt…
Combining dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) with positron emission tomography (PET) offers many potential clinical applications but typically requires expensive hardware upgrades or increases radiation doses on PET/CT scanners due to…
Our aim was to enhance visual quality and quantitative accuracy of dynamic positron emission tomography (PET)uptake images by improved image reconstruction, using sophisticated sparse penalty models that incorporate both 2D spatial+1D…
Dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) reconstruction often presents high noise due to the use of short duration frames to describe the kinetics of the radiotracer. Here we introduce a new method to calculate a kernel matrix to be used…
Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging based 3D topographic brain glucose metabolism patterns from normal controls (NC) and individuals with dementia of Alzheimer's type (DAT) are used to train a novel multi-scale…
