GapFill-Recon Net: A Cascade Network for simultaneously PET Gap Filling and Image Reconstruction.

PET image reconstruction from incomplete data, such as the gap between adjacent detector blocks generally introduces partial projection data loss, is an important and challenging problem in medical imaging. This work proposes an efficient convolutional neural network (CNN) framework, called GapFill-Recon Net, that jointly reconstructs PET images and their associated sinogram data. GapFill-Recon Net including two blocks: the Gap-Filling block first address the sinogram gap and the Image-Recon block maps the filled sinogram onto the final image directly.

Whole-brain functional MRI registration based on a semi-supervised deep learning model.

Purpose: Traditional registration of functional magnetic resonance images (fMRI) is typically achieved through registering their coregistered structural MRI. However, it cannot achieve accurate performance in that functional units which are not necessarily located relative to anatomical structures. In addition, registration methods based on functional information focus on gray matter (GM) information but ignore the importance of white matter (WM).
