Micro-CT provides tomographic information for small animals and plays an important role in preclinical research. Currently, the most micro-CT systems employ the single-source configuration and low-dose micro-focus X-ray tube, resulting in long scanning time and weak low-contrast discriminative ability. To address the two vital issues, we design a novel rotation gantry mounted triple-source conebeam micro-CT for the first time. Specifically, three pairs of tubes and detectors are installed in a single gantry. Compared with a single source configuration, the proposal increases the scanning efficiency by three times without aggravating any mechanical burden. The low-contrast discrimination is improved by multimaterial decomposition scheme based on triple-energy CT (TECT) images. Experiments were conducted using both phantoms and live rats. In the high-speed study, the proposal has reasonable agreement in signal-to-noise ratio and MTF compared to single-source scanner, even with a threefold increase in scanning speed. In the low-contrast discrimination study, on the digital phantom, the TECT correctly discriminates the materials of 2% linear attenuation coefficient difference. On the live rat, the decomposition accuracy of TECT has been enhanced by up to 21.9% compared to single-energy CT. These results validate the promising of the proposal for high-speed and low-contrast discrimination applications.
Micro-CT为小动物提供层析成像信息,在临床前研究中发挥着重要作用。目前微型ct系统大多采用单源配置和低剂量微聚焦x射线管,扫描时间长,低对比度判别能力弱。为了解决这两个关键问题,我们首次设计了一种新型的旋转龙门式三源锥束微型ct。具体来说,三对管和探测器安装在一个单一的龙门架。与单源配置相比,该方案在不增加任何机械负担的情况下,将扫描效率提高了三倍。采用基于三能CT (TECT)图像的多材料分解方案改进了低对比度识别。实验是用幻影和活鼠进行的。在高速研究中,尽管扫描速度提高了三倍,但与单源扫描仪相比,该方案在信噪比和MTF方面具有合理的一致性。在低对比度识别研究中,在数字幻影上,TECT正确识别出2%线性衰减系数差的材料。在活体大鼠上,与单能CT相比,TECT的分解精度提高了21.9%。这些结果验证了该方案在高速和低对比度识别应用中的前景。

End-to-end deep learning positron emission tomography (PET) reconstruction significantly surpasses traditional iterative methods in speed and shows promise for surpassing them in specific scenarios, such as low-dose imaging. In 2019, a significant advancement was made by using histo-images instead of time of flight (TOF) sinograms as the network’s input. Histo-images, by leveraging the image’s geometry, are more compatible with convolutional neural networks than TOF sinograms. Typically, the network’s input comprises a PET data histo-image patch and an attenuation map patch. However, this method has shown inconsistent bias in the reconstructed images. This work demonstrates that bias present in the prior method can be mitigated with alternative representations of attenuation information. Instead of using the attenuation map directly, we propose using a multiview histo-image of the attenuation correction factors, inspired by the iterative DIRECT framework and standard statistical modeling practices. We tested using them as separate channels, as well as using them to precorrect the data, or both. This histo-image encompasses the attenuation properties of each voxel from all directions within the entire lines of response. Our approaches significantly enhances image quantification, reducing the relative difference from maximum likelihood expectation maximization to an average of 2.0% to 3.0% across 16 regions of interest, compared to 9.1% with the previous method. Our statistical hypothesis test showed that the proposed methods significantly reduced absolute bias compared to the previous method, with p-values ranging from 0.002 to 0.007.
端到端深度学习正电子发射断层扫描(PET)重建在速度上明显优于传统的迭代方法,并有望在特定场景(如低剂量成像)中超越它们。2019年,使用历史图像代替飞行时间(TOF)信号图作为网络输入,取得了重大进展。通过利用图像的几何结构,组织图像比TOF图更能与卷积神经网络兼容。通常,网络的输入包括PET数据历史图像补丁和衰减图补丁。然而,该方法在重建图像中存在不一致的偏差。这项工作表明,在先前的方法中存在的偏差可以通过衰减信息的替代表示来减轻。受迭代DIRECT框架和标准统计建模实践的启发,我们建议使用衰减校正因子的多视图历史图像,而不是直接使用衰减图。我们测试使用它们作为单独的通道,以及使用它们来预校正数据,或两者兼而有之。该历史图像包含了整个响应线内各个方向的每个体素的衰减特性。我们的方法显著增强了图像量化,将最大似然期望最大化的相对差值在16个感兴趣区域内平均降低到2.0%至3.0%,而之前的方法为9.1%。我们的统计假设检验表明,与之前的方法相比,所提出的方法显著降低了绝对偏差,p值范围为0.002 ~ 0.007。

Positron emission tomography (PET) with [18F]-fludeoxyglucose (FDG) can visualize the spatial pattern of neurodegeneration-related glucose hypometabolism. We proposed the “MRI-styled PET,” leveraging anatomical information from T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging to enhance the structural details and quantitative accuracy of FDG-PET, which is degraded by partial volume effects (PVE). The proposed framework comprised a baseline encoder-decoder image fusion model and several task-specific modules; notably, the alternative anatomical input significantly contributes to correcting the under/overestimation of gray/white matter while the adaptive multiscale structural similarity loss utilized learnable ratios across various receptive fields to modulate attention to tissue contrast. Compared to a traditional anatomy-guided post-reconstruction PVE correction method (PVC-PET), MRI-styled PET demonstrated significantly higher structural similarity and peak signal-to-noise ratio than the baseline image fusion model (Baseline), showcasing the effectiveness of the proposed task-specific modules. In several Alzheimer’s Disease-related brain regions, MRI-styled PET exhibited consistent increases in corrective effects regardless of disease stage, compared to Baseline and PVC-PET. In conclusion, this study represented an initial exploration of a deep-learning approach for correcting PVE in PET without prior knowledge regarding the correction method or the underlying radiotracer uptake and without assumptions about the system point-spread function. Our implementation is available at https://github.com/NTUMMIO/MRI-styled-PET.
正电子发射断层扫描(PET)与[18F]-氟脱氧葡萄糖(FDG)可以可视化神经变性相关的葡萄糖低代谢的空间格局。我们提出了“mri风格的PET”,利用来自t1加权磁共振成像的解剖信息来增强FDG-PET的结构细节和定量准确性,这是由部分体积效应(PVE)降低的。提出的框架包括一个基线编码器-解码器图像融合模型和几个特定任务模块;值得注意的是,替代性解剖输入显著有助于纠正灰质/白质的低估/高估,而适应性多尺度结构相似性损失利用各种感受野的可学习比率来调节对组织对比的注意。与传统的解剖引导重建后PVE校正方法(PVC-PET)相比,mri风格的PET显示出明显高于基线图像融合模型(baseline)的结构相似性和峰值信噪比,表明了所提出的任务特定模块的有效性。在几个与阿尔茨海默病相关的大脑区域,与基线和PVC-PET相比,mri型PET显示出与疾病分期无关的矫正效果一致的增加。总之,本研究代表了对PET中校正PVE的深度学习方法的初步探索,该方法不需要事先了解校正方法或潜在的放射性示踪剂摄取,也不需要对系统点扩散函数进行假设。我们的实现可以在https://github.com/NTUMMIO/MRI-styled-PET上获得。

Immersion of a 12.5-kHz helium plasma discharge tube (DT) inside a metallic reflective bowl-like electrode enhances the anisotropy and directs the electromagnetic emission outwards from DT. Fitting the emission amplitude spatial decay by exponential functions shows that with the reflective electrode, the emission spatially decreases ~10 times slower than without the electrode. Such a way for directing the electromagnetic emission extends the effective spatial range of physical sensitization effect on UMG87 glioblastoma cancer cells from typical distance of several millimeters without the reflective electrode, up to several tens of millimeters with reflective electrode at floating or full DT central electrode potential. The decrease of UMG87 cell viability proportionally grows with the concentration of the intracellular Reactive Oxygen Species, and is detected not only at much larger axial distances (up to 10 cm), but also at nonzero radial distances from the DT center, reaching maximal effect in the vicinity of the walls of the reflective electrode. These findings look promising for the development of technology for distant nonionizing and noninvasive electromagnetic treatment of deep-lying tumors.
将12.5 khz的氦等离子体放电管(DT)浸泡在金属反射碗状电极中,增强了各向异性,并使DT的电磁发射向外定向。利用指数函数拟合发射振幅的空间衰减表明,有反射电极时,发射的空间衰减速度比没有电极时慢约10倍。这种定向电磁发射的方式将对UMG87胶质母细胞瘤癌细胞的物理增敏效应的有效空间范围从典型的无反射电极的几毫米距离,扩展到反射电极在浮动或全DT中心电极电位下的几十毫米距离。随着细胞内活性氧浓度的增加,UMG87细胞活力的降低成比例地增长,并且不仅在更大的轴向距离(高达10 cm)处检测到,而且在距离DT中心的非零径向距离处也能检测到,在反射电极壁附近达到最大效果。这些发现为深部肿瘤的远距离非电离和非侵入性电磁治疗技术的发展提供了希望。

Traditional PET detectors based on pixelated scintillation crystals with single-ended readout do not provide depth of interaction (DOI) information in an easy and cost-effective way. In this work, we propose a PET detector with single-ended readout and 1:1 coupling, based on arrays of naked pixelated crystals that are glued in one direction, and optically separated in the other one. We have named this approach as pseudo-slab. In this configuration, some of the optical photons will propagate in the glued direction, generating a light distribution from which DOI information can be retrieved. We have characterized four different detector configurations, all of them consisting of a linear array of $1times 8$ LYSO crystals of $3times 3times 20~{mathrm { mm}}^{3}$ each, with an optical glue of approximately $70~mu $ m in between them. The top and bottom faces are polished, and with a different number of unpolished lateral surfaces (2 versus 4) and different wrappings (Enhanced Specular Reflector versus BaSO4). The results obtained for the four detector configurations show energy resolutions ranging from 8.5% to 9.8% and coincidence time resolutions (with a reference pixel) below 290 ps for all cases using only the fastest timestamp and close to 230 ps when energy-weighted averaging of multiple timestamps is applied (corresponding to 182 ps detector time resolution). Regarding DOI performance, all configurations provide DOI information, showing a better performance with more number of unpolished faces and also when using ${mathrm { BaSO}}_{4}$ as a reflector.
传统的基于像素化闪烁晶体单端读出的PET探测器不能以一种简单而经济的方式提供相互作用深度(DOI)信息。在这项工作中,我们提出了一种具有单端读出和1:1耦合的PET探测器,该探测器基于裸像素化晶体阵列,这些晶体在一个方向上粘接,在另一个方向上光学分离。我们将这种方法命名为伪平板。在这种配置中,一些光子将在粘接方向上传播,产生可以从中检索DOI信息的光分布。我们描述了四种不同的探测器配置,它们都由$1 × 8$ LYSO晶体组成的线性阵列组成,每个$3 × 3 × 20~{ mathm {mm}}^{3}$,它们之间有大约$70~mu $ m的光学胶。顶部和底部表面经过抛光,并且具有不同数量的未抛光侧面(2对4)和不同的包裹(Enhanced Specular Reflector vs BaSO4)。四种探测器配置的结果显示,仅使用最快时间戳的所有情况下,能量分辨率从8.5%到9.8%不等,符合时间分辨率(带参考像素)低于290 ps,当应用多个时间戳的能量加权平均时接近230 ps(对应于182 ps探测器时间分辨率)。关于DOI性能,所有配置都提供DOI信息,当未抛光面数量更多时,以及使用${ mathm {BaSO}}_{4}$作为反射器时,显示出更好的性能。

Dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) parametric imaging typically requires a 60-min acquisition period, causing patient discomfort and reducing clinical efficiency. This study explores the feasibility of generating parametric $K_{i}$ images from 10-min dynamic PET images acquired in the early or late scanning phases employing a multichannel feature fusion cold sampling (MCFFCoS) framework. PET data from 103 patients are acquired using the uEXPLORER total-body PET/CT scanner during 60-min scans. This study conducts deep learning experiments, taking early-phase or late-phase PET images as input, respectively. The generated $K_{i}$ images are evaluated by visual quality and quantitative metrics, including root-mean-squared error (RMSE), structural similarity index (SSIM), and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). Volumes of interest (VOIs) analysis is performed using linear regression and Bland-Altman plots. In the quantitative evaluation of total-body data, the parametric $K_{i}$ images generated from late-phase PET data generally outperform those derived from early-phase data. The analysis of VOIs indicates that the appropriate scanning protocol for PET parametric imaging may vary for different body regions. The deep learning approach is able to generate high-quality parametric $K_{i}$ images from 10-min dynamic PET scans, bypassing the requirements of long acquisition time for the estimation of blood input function in kinetic modeling.
动态正电子发射断层扫描(PET)参数化成像通常需要60分钟的采集周期,导致患者不适并降低临床效率。本研究探讨了采用多通道特征融合冷采样(MCFFCoS)框架,从扫描前期或后期获得的10分钟动态PET图像中生成参数$K_{i}$图像的可行性。使用uEXPLORER全身PET/CT扫描仪在60分钟扫描期间获得103例患者的PET数据。本研究进行深度学习实验,分别以早期和晚期PET图像作为输入。生成的$K_{i}$图像通过视觉质量和定量指标进行评估,包括均方根误差(RMSE)、结构相似性指数(SSIM)和峰值信噪比(PSNR)。兴趣体积(VOIs)分析使用线性回归和Bland-Altman图进行。在对全身数据的定量评价中,后期PET数据生成的参数化$K_{i}$图像通常优于早期PET数据。voi的分析表明,不同的身体区域,PET参数成像的合适扫描方案可能不同。深度学习方法能够从10分钟的动态PET扫描中生成高质量的参数$K_{i}$图像,绕过了动力学建模中估计血液输入函数所需的长采集时间的要求。
