Implicit Neural Representation Learning with Prior Embedding for Sparsely Sampled Image Reconstruction and Other Inverse Problems
A method for diagnostic imaging reconstruction uses a prior image x.sup.pr from a scan of a subject to initialize parameters of a neural network which maps coordinates in image space to corresponding intensity values in the prior image. The parameters are initialized by minimizing an objective function representing a difference between intensity values of the prior image and predicted intensity values output from the neural network. The neural network is then trained using subsampled (sparse) measurements of the subject to learn a neural representation of a reconstructed image. The training includes minimizing an objective function representing a difference between the subsampled measurements and a forward model applied to predicted image intensity values output from the neural network. Image intensity values output from the trained neural network from coordinates in image space input to the trained neural network are computed to produce predicted image intensity values.
AI-ENABLED EARLY-PET ACQUISITION
Data processing systems (DPS) and related methods for nuclear medicine imaging. At an input interface (IN), first projection data (λ), or a first image (V) reconstructable from the first projection data, is received. The first projection data is associated with a first waiting period (ΔT*). The first waiting period indicates the time period from administration of a tracer agent to a start of acquisition by a nuclear medicine imaging apparatus (IA) of the projection date. A trained machine learning module (MLM) estimates, based on the first projection data (λ) or on the first image (V), a second projection data (λ′) or a second image (V′) associable with a second waiting period (ΔT), longer than the first waiting period (ΔT*). Nuclear imaging can thus be conducted quicker. Similar machine learning based data processing systems and related methods are also envisaged to reduce acquisition time periods or the time it takes to reconstruct imagery.
