Abstract: The present approach relates to the use of machine-learning in convolution kernel design for scatter correction. In one aspect, a neural network is trained to replace or improve the convolution kernel used for scatter correction. The training data set may be generated probabilistically so that actual measurements are not employed.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for medical imaging systems. In one embodiment, a method comprises estimating an external scatter contamination in emission data based on an estimated emission activity originating from anatomies outside a field-of-view (FOV) of a scanner, the anatomies identified based on an image segmentation analysis performed on an image generated in the imaging system, the image generated prior to acquiring the emission data. In this way, a scatter correction applied to the emission data may include both scatter originating within the FOV and outside the FOV, and hence may be more accurate.

Abstract: A silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) based detection system includes a plurality of scintillators, SiPMs, a front end circuit, adjustment circuits, and an energy and position processing unit. The SiPMs have a non-linear response to energy deposition corresponding to radiation detection. The adjustment circuit is configured to receive an analog signal from SiPMs, and to provide an adjusted analog signal, which is configured to simulate a signal corresponding to a linear response. The energy and position processing unit utilizes the adjusted signal to provide energy and position information of detected events in the detector block.

Abstract: Imaging system and method are presented. Emission scan (ES) and anatomical scan (AS) data corresponding to a target volume in a subject are received. One or more at least partial AS images are reconstructed using AS data. An image-space certainty (IC) map representing a confidence level (CL) for attenuation coefficients of selected voxels in AS images and a preliminary attenuation (PA) map based on AS images are generated. One or more of selected attenuation factors (AF) in projection-space are initialized based on PA map. A projection-space certainty (PC) map representing CL for the selected AF is generated based on IC map. An emission image of the target volume is initialized. The selected AF and emission image are iteratively updated based on the ES data, PC map, initial AF, and/or initial emission image. A desired emission image and/or AF values are determined based on the iteratively updated AF and/or emission image.
