Dose-aware Diffusion Model for 3D PET Image Denoising: Multi-institutional Validation with Reader Study and Real Low-dose Data
Huidong Xie, Weijie Gan, Reimund Bayerlein +24
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 investigat…
A Generalizable 3D Diffusion Framework for Low-Dose and Few-View Cardiac SPECT
Huidong Xie, Weijie Gan, Wei Ji +13
Myocardial perfusion imaging using SPECT is widely utilized to diagnose coronary artery diseases, but image quality can be negatively affected in low-dose and few-view acquisition…
Noise-aware Dynamic Image Denoising and Positron Range Correction for Rubidium-82 Cardiac PET Imaging via Self-supervision
Huidong Xie, Liang Guo, Alexandre Velo +14
Rb-82 is a radioactive isotope widely used for cardiac PET imaging. Despite numerous benefits of 82-Rb, there are several factors that limits its image quality and quantitative acc…
2.5D Multi-view Averaging Diffusion Model for 3D Medical Image Translation: Application to Low-count PET Reconstruction with CT-less Attenuation Correction
Tianqi Chen, Jun Hou, Yinchi Zhou +8
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is an important clinical imaging tool but inevitably introduces radiation hazards to patients and healthcare providers. Reducing the tracer injec…
