• Abstract: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have recently achieved remarkable performance in positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction. In particular, CNN-based direct PET image reconstruction, which directly generates the reconstructed image from the sinogram, has potential applicability to PET image enhancements because it does not require image reconstruction algorithms, which often produce some artifacts. However, these deep learning-based, direct PET image reconstruction algorithms have the disadvantage that they require a large number of high-quality training datasets. In this study, we propose an unsupervised direct PET image reconstruction method that incorporates a deep image prior framework. Our proposed method incorporates a forward projection model with a loss function to achieve unsupervised direct PET image reconstruction from sinograms. To compare our proposed direct reconstruction method with the filtered back projection (FBP) and maximum likelihood expectation maximization (ML-EM) algorithms, we evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation data of brain [$^{18}$F]FDG PET scans. The results demonstrate that our proposed direct reconstruction quantitatively and qualitatively outperforms the FBP and ML-EM algorithms with respect to peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity index.

  Sparse-view computed tomography (SVCT) reconstruction aims to acquire CT images based on sparsely-sampled measurements. Due to ill-posedness, implicit neural representation (INR) techniques may leave considerable holes'' (i.e., unmodeled spaces) in their fields, leading to sub-optimal results. We propose the Coordinate-based Continuous Projection Field (CoCPF), which aims to build hole-free representation fields for SVCT reconstruction.

  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.
