Abstract

The invention relates to a low-dose SPECT image reconstruction method and system. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring a plurality of projection images corresponding to a plurality of scanning angles when a target part of a patient is subjected to SPECT imaging scanning; converting the plurality of projection drawings into a plurality of first chordal diagrams, and inputting the plurality of first chordal diagrams into an image reconstruction model to obtain a plurality of second chordal diagrams; wherein the image reconstruction model is obtained by performing model training on a mask auto-encoder model MAE based on a plurality of sample chordal diagrams, a three-dimensional encoder and a three-dimensional decoder are adopted as an encoder and a decoder of the mask auto-encoder model MAE, and the plurality of sample chordal diagrams are obtained by processing a plurality of sample projection diagrams; and reconstructing based on the plurality of second chordal diagrams to obtain a fault diagram of the target part.
