Problems solved by technology

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a GAN-based adaptive network enhancement method for low-dose PET images to solve the problem that the existing network can only target a single type of low-dose PET image and cannot generate low-dose PET images at different doses. Problems with dose PET images

Embodiment Construction

[0042] Such as figure 1 Shown, the present invention is based on cGAN adaptive network and is used for the enhancement method of low-dose PET image and comprises the following steps:

[0043] 1. Scan the whole body of the patient who is injected with the tracer that meets the standard dose, so as to obtain the PET image of the whole body of the patient under the standard dose;

[0044]2. Random partial sampling of the raw data of the PET image under the standard dose to simulate the real situation of injecting the patient with a tracer lower than the standard dose;

[0045] 3. Using the same reconstruction parameters as those used for PET image reconstruction under standard doses, reconstruct the sampling data obtained by the above random partial sampling, and reconstruct all physical corrections including attenuation correction, scatter correction and random correction;

[0046] 4. Input the reconstructed PET images under different doses and PET images under standard doses ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a cGAN-based adaptive network enhancement method for a low-dose PET image, and the method comprises the following steps: carrying out the whole-body scanning of a patient injected with a 18F-FDG tracer agent meeting a standard dose, so as to obtain a whole-body PET image of the patient under the standard dose; random partial sampling being carried out on PET original datato reduce the dosage so as to simulate the situation of low-dosage tracer agent injection under the real situation, and then reconstruction parameters which are the same as those during full-dosage PET image reconstruction being adopted to reconstruct the data, including all physical corrections; inputting the reconstructed PET images with different doses and the reconstructed full-dose standard image into a network for training, so that the network can automatically match the PET images with different low doses and obtain an image close to the standard dose; carrying out whole-body scanning on the patient injected with the tracer agent with the dose lower than the standard dose to obtain a PET image under a low dose; and inputting the low-dose PET image into the network model for enhancement, so as to obtain a clear whole-body PET image.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of image processing and deep learning, in particular to an enhancement method for low-dose PET images using a cGAN-based adaptive network. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, artificial intelligence technology is more and more used in medical diagnosis, hoping to help doctors make better diagnoses through artificial intelligence technology. Positron emission tomography, a nuclear medicine imaging technique, enables the visualization of metabolic processes in the human body. At present, this technology has been applied clinically, such as diagnosis, staging and treatment monitoring. In order to obtain high-quality PET images for diagnosis, patients are usually injected with 18F-FDG tracer at a dose of 5–10 mCi according to the patient’s weight. However, PET scanning generally requires a long time exposure to the radioactive environment, and there is radiation damage...
