Abstract
En 中文
Positron emission tomography (PET) is an ill-posed inverse problem and suffers high noise due to limited number of detected events. Prior information can be used to improve the quality of reconstructed PET images. Deep neural networks have also been applied to regularized image reconstruction. One method is to use a pretrained denoising neural network to represent the PET image and to perform a constrained maximum likelihood estimation. In this work, we propose to use a generative adversarial network (GAN) to further improve the network performance. We also modify the objective function to include a data-matching term on the network input. Experimental studies using computer-based Monte Carlo simulations and real patient datasets demonstrate that the proposed method leads to noticeable improvements over the kernel-based and U-net-based regularization methods in terms of lesion contrast recovery versus background noise trade-offs.
