Photonic crystals (PhCs) are periodic nanostructures with sizes comparable to the optical photons’ wavelengths, which can break through the critical angle limit. Thorough experimental investigation of PhCs effect on optical harvest in scintillator detectors is complex and costly. Simulation can overcome these challenges. Mainstream software, such as GATE does not support PhCs simulation. Here, we generalize the GATE optical model by incorporating the PhCs optical model into the look-up table (LUT) Davis model. We can model the performance of advanced scintillator detectors via the generalized LUT Davis model. The scintillator and PhCs materials tested in this work were lutetium oxyorthosilicate and titanium dioxide, respectively. Scintillators with a cross section of <inline-formula> <tex-math>$3times 3$ </tex-math></inline-formula> mm2 or <inline-formula> <tex-math>$10times 10$ </tex-math></inline-formula> mm2 and a thickness varying from 9 to 18 mm with a step size of 3 mm were modeled with a PhCs interface to the photodetector. Among the 4 tested PhCs configurations, the best optical photon harvest was improved by 62.4% compared to traditional coupling with variable results between PhCs structures. The energy resolution only slightly improved. We thus investigated the angular distribution of collected optical photons, which can guide the optimization of photodetectors’ detection efficiency at specific angles.","PeriodicalId":46807,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Radiation and Plasma Medical Sciences","volume":"9 3","pages":"269-276"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10756607","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143553293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lower-count data, however, degrades reconstructed image quality. Advanced reconstruction methods help mitigate image quality losses, but it is important to assess the resulting images from a clinical perspective. Two experienced clinicians assessed four PET reconstruction algorithms for [18F]FDG brain data, compared to a clinical standard reference (maximum-likelihood expectation-maximization (MLEM)), based on seven clinical image quality metrics: global quality rating, pattern recognition, diagnostic confidence (all on a scale of 0–4), sharpness, caudate-putamen separation (CP), noise, and contrast (on a scale between 0–2). The reconstruction methods assessed were a guided and unguided version of self-supervised maximum a posteriori EM (MAPEM) (where the guidance case used the patient’s MR image to control the smoothness penalty). For 3 of the 11 patient datasets reconstructed, post-smoothed versions of the MAPEM reconstruction were also considered, where the smoothing was with the point-spread-function used in the resolution modelling. Statistically significant improvements were observed in sharpness, CP, and contrast for self-supervised MR-guided MAPEM compared to MLEM. For example, MLEM scored between 1-1.1 out of 2 for sharpness, CP, and contrast, whereas self-supervised MR-guided MAPEM scored between 1.5-1.75. In addition to the clinical evaluation, pretrained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were used to assess the image quality of a further 62 images. The CNNs demonstrated similar trends to the clinician, showing their potential as automated standalone observers. Both the clinical and CNN assessments suggest when using only 5% of the standard injected dose, self-supervised MR-guided MAPEM reconstruction matches the 100% MLEM case for overall performance. This makes the images far more clinically useful than standard MLEM.","PeriodicalId":46807,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Radiation and Plasma Medical Sciences","volume":"9 3","pages":"337-346"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143504796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
