Article Synopsis
- Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET significantly enhances management decisions for patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer by revealing more positive findings compared to MRI and CT alone.
- The study analyzed data from 41 patients, showing that the combination of PET with either MRI or CT led to improved detection rates and altered treatment plans for a considerable number of patients.
- The interreader agreement improved significantly with the addition of PET, highlighting its importance in clinical assessment and decision-making.
Introduction: The five-class Dixon-based PET/MR attenuation correction (AC) model, which adds bone information to the four-class model by registering major bones from a bone atlas, has been shown to be error-prone. In this study, we introduce a novel method of accounting for bone in pelvic PET/MR AC by directly predicting the errors in the PET image space caused by the lack of bone in four-class Dixon-based attenuation correction.
Methods: A convolutional neural network was trained to predict the four-class AC error map relative to CT-based attenuation correction.
