Abstract: A method, system, and computer readable medium to perform nuclear medicine scatter correction estimation, sinogram estimation and image reconstruction from emission and attenuation correction data using deep convolutional neural networks. In one embodiment, a Deep Convolutional Neural network (DCNN) is used, although multiple neural networks can be used (e.g., for angle-specific processing). In one embodiment, a scatter sinogram is directly estimated using a DCNN from emission and attenuation correction data. In another embodiment a DCNN is used to estimate a scatter-corrected image and then the scatter sinogram is computed by a forward projection.

Abstract: To reduce the effect(s) caused by patient breathing and movement during PET data acquisition, an unsupervised non-rigid image registration framework using deep learning is used to produce motion vectors for motion correction. In one embodiment, a differentiable spatial transformer layer is used to warp the moving image to the fixed image and use a stacked structure for deformation field refinement. Estimated deformation fields can be incorporated into an iterative image reconstruction process to perform motion compensated PET image reconstruction. The described method and system, using simulation and clinical data, provide reduced error compared to at least one iterative image registration process.

Abstract: A method for performing single gating in a positron emission tomography (PET) system includes: receiving list-mode data acquired by scanning an imaging object using the PET system, the list-mode data being affected by quasi-periodic motion of the imaging object; producing a plurality of vectors based on the received list-mode data; generating a reference vector based on the produced plurality of vectors; selecting, from the produced plurality of vectors, a set of vectors corresponding to a single gate, based on respective differences compared with the generated reference vector; and generating an image of the imaging object based on the selected set of vectors.

Abstract: Upon receiving list-mode data by detecting radiation emitted from a radiation source positioned with a field of view of a medical imaging scanner, each photon included in the list-mode data can be classified according to one or more interaction properties, such as energy or number of crystals interacted with. Grouped pairs of photons can be generated based on the classifying, and a corresponding interaction-property-specific correction kernel (e.g., a corresponding interaction-property-specific point spread function correction kernel) can be selected for each group. Corresponding interaction-property-specific correction kernels can then be utilized to generate higher quality images.

Abstract: A method of normalizing detector elements in an imaging system is described herein. The method includes a line source that is easier to handle for a user, and decouples the normalization of the detector elements into a transaxial domain and an axial domain in order to isolate errors due to positioning of the line source. Additional simulations are performed to augment the real scanner normalization. A simulation of a simulated line source closely matching the real line source can be performed to isolate errors due to physical properties of the crystals and position of the crystals in the system, wherein the simulated detector crystals are otherwise modeled uniformly. A simulation of a simulated cylinder source can be performed to determine errors due to other effects stemming from gaps between the detector crystals.

Abstract: A dynamic frame reconstruction apparatus and method for medical image processing is disclosed which reduces the computationally expensive reconstruction of images but which retains the accuracy of the image reconstruction. A convolutional neural network is used to cluster the dynamic data into groups of frames, each group sharing similar radiotracer distribution. In one embodiment, groups of frames that have similar reconstruction parameters are determined, and scatter and random estimations are computed once and shared among each of the frames in the same frame group.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for image denoising whereby a deep image prior (DIP) neural network is trained to produce a denoised image by inputting the second medical image to the DIP neural network and combining a converging noise and an output of the DIP network during the training such that the converging noise combined with the output of the DIP network approximates the first medical image at the end of the training, wherein the output of the DIP network represents the denoised image.

Abstract: Existing, low quality images can be restored using reconstruction or a combination of post-reconstruction techniques to generate a real patient phantom. The real patient phantom (RPP) can then be simulated in Monte Carlo simulations of a higher performance system and a lower performance system. Alternatively, the RPP can be simulated in the higher performance system, and a real scan can be performed by an existing, lower performance system. The higher performance system can be differentiated from the lower performance system in a variety of ways, including a higher resolution time of flight measurement capability, a greater sensitivity, smaller detector crystals, or less scattering. A neural network can be trained using the images produce by the higher performance system as the target, and the images produced by the lower performance system as the input. After training, the trained neural network can be used to output input images taken in a lower performance system with higher performance system characteristics.
