Objectives: To develop the following three attenuation correction (AC) methods for brain F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (PET), using deep learning, and to ascertain their precision levels: (i) indirect method; (ii) direct method; and (iii) direct and high-resolution correction (direct+HRC) method.

Methods: We included 53 patients who underwent cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) and 27 patients who underwent cranial MRI, CT, and PET. After fusion of the magnetic resonance, CT, and PET images, resampling was performed to standardize the field of view and matrix size and prepare the data set.
