• Abstract summary: This paper proposes FastPET, a novel direct reconstruction convolutional neural network that is architecturally simple, memory space efficient. FastPET operates on a histo-image representation of the raw data enabling it to reconstruct 3D image volumes 67x faster than Ordered subsets Expectation Maximization (OSEM) The results show that not only are the reconstructions very fast, but the images are high quality and lower noise than iterative reconstructions.

• Abstract: Direct reconstruction of positron emission tomography (PET) data using deep neural networks is a growing field of research. Initial results are promising, but often the networks are complex, memory utilization inefficient, produce relatively small 2D image slices (e.g., 128x128), and low count rate reconstructions are of varying quality. This paper proposes FastPET, a novel direct reconstruction convolutional neural network that is architecturally simple, memory space efficient, works for non-trivial 3D image volumes and is capable of processing a wide spectrum of PET data including low-dose and multi-tracer applications. FastPET uniquely operates on a histo-image (i.e., image-space) representation of the raw data enabling it to reconstruct 3D image volumes 67x faster than Ordered subsets Expectation Maximization (OSEM). We detail the FastPET method trained on whole-body and low-dose whole-body data sets and explore qualitative and quantitative aspects of reconstructed images from clinical and phantom studies. Additionally, we explore the application of FastPET on a neurology data set containing multiple different tracers. The results show that not only are the reconstructions very fast, but the images are high quality and lower noise than iterative reconstructions.

  This paper presents a coarse-to-fine PET reconstruction framework that consists of a coarse prediction module (CPM) and an iterative refinement module (IRM) By delegating most of the computational overhead to the CPM, the overall sampling speed of our method can be significantly improved. Two additional strategies, i.e., an auxiliary guidance strategy and a contrastive diffusion strategy, are proposed and integrated into the reconstruction process.
