• Abstract: Score-based generative models have demonstrated highly promising results for medical image reconstruction tasks in magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography. However, their application to Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is still largely unexplored. PET image reconstruction involves a variety of challenges, including Poisson noise with high variance and a wide dynamic range. To address these challenges, we propose several PET-specific adaptations of score-based generative models. The proposed framework is developed for both 2D and 3D PET. In addition, we provide an extension to guided reconstruction using magnetic resonance images. We validate the approach through extensive 2D and 3D $\textit{in-silico}$ experiments with a model trained on patient-realistic data without lesions, and evaluate on data without lesions as well as out-of-distribution data with lesions. This demonstrates the proposed method's robustness and significant potential for improved PET reconstruction.

  We propose a diffusion transformer model (DTM) guided by joint compact prior (JCP) to enhance the reconstruction quality of low-dose PET imaging. DTM combines the powerful distribution mapping abilities of diffusion models with the capacity of transformers to capture long-range dependencies. Our approach not only reduces radiation exposure risks but also provides a more reliable PET imaging tool for early disease detection and patient management.

  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.

  TriDoFormer is a transformer-based model that unites triple domains of sinogram, image, and frequency for direct reconstruction. It outperforms state-of-the-art methods qualitatively and quantitatively. GFP serves as a learnable frequency filter that adjusts the frequency components in the frequency domain, enforcing the network to restore high-frequency details.

• Estimating Uncertainty in PET Image Reconstruction via Deep Posterior Sampling [0.0]
  The vast majority of reconstruction methods in PET imaging, both iterative and deep learning, return a single estimate without quantifying the associated uncertainty. This paper proposes a deep learning-based method for uncertainty in PET image reconstruction via posterior sampling. We show that the proposed model generates high-quality posterior samples and yields physically-meaningful uncertainty estimates.
