摘要

正电子发射断层扫描(PET)是一种广泛应用于临床的功能成像技术。与单示踪剂正电子发射计算机断层成像相比,双示踪剂动态正电子发射计算机断层成像允许在一次扫描中使用两种不同的核药物序列,从而揭示更丰富的生理信息。然而,由于两种示踪剂的伽马光子对能量(约 511 keV)相同,动态分离双示踪剂 PET 中的混合信号具有挑战性。我们提出了一种基于可逆神经网络(DTS-INN)的动态 PET 双示踪剂分离方法。该网络可同时进行前向和后向处理。因此,通过后向处理根据分离结果生成混合图像序列可能会对网络的优化造成额外的限制。损耗由对应于前向和后向传播过程的两个部分组成,这使得梯度计算更加精确,梯度传播更加稳定,并具有周期一致性。我们使用模拟数据和真实数据评估了我们模型的性能,并将其与几种著名的双踪分离方法进行了比较。DTS-INN 的结果以更低的均方误差、更高的结构相似性和峰值信噪比优于同类方法。此外,DTS-INN 对噪音水平、模型、示踪剂组合和扫描方案都有很好的适应性,为双示踪剂 PET 图像分离提供了可靠的解决方案。

Temporal Image Sequence Separation in Dual-Tracer Dynamic PET With an Invertible Network
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a widely used functional imaging technique in clinic. Compared to single-tracer PET, dual-tracer dynamic PET allows two sequences of different nuclear pharmaceuticals in one scan, revealing richer physiological information. However, dynamically separating the mixed signals in dual-tracer PET is challenging due to identical energy ~511 keV in gamma photon pairs from both tracers. We propose a method for dynamic PET dual-tracer separation based on invertible neural networks (DTS-INNs). This network enables the forward and backward process simultaneously. Therefore, producing the mixed image sequences from the separation results through backward process may impose extra constraints for optimizing the network. The loss is composed of two components corresponding to the forward and backward propagation processes, which results in more accurate gradient computations and more stable gradient propagation with cycle consistency. We assess our model’s performance using simulated and real data, comparing it with several reputable dual-tracer separation methods. The results of DTS-INN outperform counterparts with lower-mean square error, higher-structural similarity, and peak signal to noise ratio. Additionally, it exhibits robustness against noise levels, phantoms, tracer combinations, and scanning protocols, offering a dependable solution for dual-tracer PET image separation.
