The anisotropy of the emission directions of cascade gamma rays can provide more information in addition to activity distribution. It contains information regarding the chemical state of the molecule surrounding the 111In atom. A previous mechanical collimator SPECT study indicated the possibility of imaging and obtaining information on the local chemical state through anisotropy measurements. This study utilized a ring-structured Compton camera for anisotropy measurement of 111In cascade gamma rays with potential use in imaging PET and SPECT tracers.

In this article, a 130+ ps CTR with 20-mm crystal length is achieved using AMD FPGA platform. Three steps are proposed to achieve a high CTR. First, a low-noise amplifier (LNA) is used on fast output signals that are used for time sampling. This can equivalently lower the configured threshold for leading edge discriminator and therefore further mitigate the time walk effect. Second, a new time-to-digital converter (TDC) architecture that achieves less than 1-LSB integral nonlinearity (INL) and differential nonlinearity (DNL) without any calibration tricks are introduced. This TDC can yield salient INL performance, which can deliver consistent performance in time sampling and hence better CTR. Last but not least, a resource-efficient energy characterization method is proposed. This approach utilizes only one TDC chain to sample all trigger times for pulse reconstruction. This not only saves up to 75% chain resources but also minimizes sampling errors due to heterogeneity properties when involving multiple TDC chains. A prototype using 28-nm Kintex 7 FPGA is implemented and 130+ ps CTR is achieved.","PeriodicalId":46807,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Radiation and Plasma Medical Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142912507","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}

This work compared 18 different backbones from 5 architecture groups (pretrained on ImageNet) for the task of assessing [18F]FDG brain positron emission tomography (PET) image quality (reconstructed at seven simulated doses), based on three clinical image quality metrics (global quality rating, pattern recognition, and diagnostic confidence). Using 2-D randomly sampled patches, up to eight patients (at three dose levels each) were used for training, with three separate patient datasets used for testing. Each backbone was trained five times with the same training and validation sets, and with six cross-folds. Training only the final fully connected layer (with ~6000–20000 trainable parameters) achieved a test mean-absolute-error (MAE) of ~0.5 (which was within the intrinsic uncertainty of clinical scoring). To compare “classical” and over-parameterized regimes, the pretrained weights of the last 40% of the network layers were then unfrozen. The MAE fell below 0.5 for 14 out of the 18 backbones assessed, including two that previously failed to train. Generally, backbones with residual units (e.g., DenseNets and ResNetV2s), were suited to this task, in terms of achieving the lowest MAE at test time (~0.45–0.5).

To address this challenge, here we report a semi-stationary multisource artificial intelligence (AI)-based real-time tomography (SMART) CT system. This unique scanner is featured by 29 source-detector pairs fixed on a circular track to collect X-ray signals in parallel, enabling instantaneous tomography in principle. Given the multisource architecture, the field of view covers only a cardiac region. To solve the interior problem, an AI-empowered interior tomography approach is developed to synergize sparsity-based regularization and learning-based reconstruction. To demonstrate the performance and utilities of the SMART system, extensive results are obtained in physical phantom experiments and animal studies, including dead and live rats as well as live rabbits. The reconstructed volumetric images convincingly demonstrate the merits of the SMART system using the AI-empowered interior tomography approach, enabling cardiac CT with the unprecedented temporal resolution of 33 ms, which enjoys the highest temporal resolution than the state of the art.","PeriodicalId":46807,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Radiation and Plasma Medical Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"118-130"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142912394","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}

Owing to variations in image characteristics, such as contrast, across different acquisition environments, the restoration performance of the deep-learning methods can significantly degrade when applied to PET images obtained from unseen domains (i.e., not seen in training). To address the difficulty, we introduce a mapping label and condition the network on this label. This enables the network that takes a low-quality amyloid PET image and the corresponding mapping label as inputs to effectively generate the desired high-quality amyloid PET image. We assign the mapping label as a one-hot vector for each domain and use pairs of PET images from short (2 min) and standard (20 min) scanning times for training. The network, trained with the mapping label, can efficiently restore low-quality amyloid PET images in unseen domains by estimating an unknown mapping label for the unseen domain.

To understand how motion correction affects quantitative analysis, we investigated two approaches: intra- and inter- frame motion correction (II-MC), which corrects for both the interframe and intraframe motion, and interframe only motion correction (IO-MC), which only corrects for the interframe motion. These methods were applied to 83 scans from 34 subjects, and we calculated distribution volume ratios (DVRs) using the multilinear reference tissue model with the two parameters (MRTM2) in tau-rich brain regions. Most of the studies yielded similar DVR results for both II-MC and IO-MC. However, in one scan of an AD subject, the inferior temporal region showed 14% higher DVR with II-MC compared to IO-MC. This difference was reasonable given the AD diagnosis, although similar results were not observed in other regions. Although discrepancies between IO-MC and II-MC results were rare, they underscore the importance of incorporating intraframe motion correction for more accurate and dependable PET quantitation, particularly in the context of dynamic imaging. These findings suggest that while the overall impact of intraframe motion correction may be subtle, it can improve the reliability of longitudinal PET data, ultimately enhancing our understanding of tau protein distribution in AD pathology.","PeriodicalId":46807,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Radiation and Plasma Medical Sciences","volume":"8 8","pages":"950-958"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142587634","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}

In this study, we propose a supervised deep learning framework that achieves 2-D/3-D deformable image registration between the 3-D volume and a single-viewpoint 2-D projection image. The proposed method uses latent image features of the 2-D projection images to learn a transformation from the input image, which is a concatenation of the 2-D projection images and the 3-D volume, to a dense displacement vector field (DVF) that represents nonlinear and local organ displacements. The target DVFs are generated by registration between 3-D volumes, and the registration error with the estimated DVF is introduced as a loss function during training. We register 3D-computed tomography (CT) volumes to the digitally reconstructed radiographs generated from abdominal 4D-CT volumes of 35 cases. The experimental results show that the proposed method can reconstruct 3D-CT with a mean voxel-to-voxel error of 29.4 Hounsfield unit and a dice similarity coefficient of 89.2 % on average for the body, liver, stomach, duodenum, and kidney regions, which is a clinically acceptable accuracy.

To the best of our knowledge, IRDNet leverages metal artifact features as guidance of the dual-domain network for the first time to reduce metal artifacts. Our framework incorporates artifact-corrupted and precorrected images (linear-interpolated images) as well as metal artifact features to effectively reduce metal artifacts for a high-quality prior CT image and corresponding prior sinogram. The prior image and prior sinogram are then iteratively recovered sinogram using the residual learning strategy and mitigate the artifacts of CT image with a metal-location guidance framework. We construct IRDNet in an unrolling manner to accurately optimize anatomical structures. Compared to the state-of-the-art algorithms, IRDNet consistently produces reasonable CT images with reduced metal artifacts, as evaluated both quantitatively and qualitatively across different-sized metal implant samples and different metal materials. It generalized different artifacts caused by metals of various sizes and materials and successfully recovered surrounding tissues.
