Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of image imaging technology, and in particular relates to an image attenuation correction method and its application. Background technique
[0002] Positron emission tomography (PET) plays an indispensable role in early detection of diseases and postoperative staging diagnosis, and is a functional imaging method widely used in neuroscience research. Increased accumulation of fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) used in PET relative to normal tissue is a useful marker of many cancers, helping to detect and localize malignancies. Despite its many advantages, PET imaging has several disadvantages that make it difficult to treat. Radioactive components may pose a risk to pregnant or nursing patients. Also, PET is a relatively new medical procedure that can be expensive. As such, it is still not offered in most medical centers around the world. Difficulties in providing PET imaging as part of treatment have increased the n...
