Patent number: 12118649Abstract: Disclosed is a three-dimensional low-dose PET reconstruction method based on deep learning. The method comprises the following steps: back projecting low-dose PET raw data to the image domain to maintain enough information from the raw data; selecting an appropriate three-dimensional deep neural network structure to fit the mapping between the back projection of the low-dose PET and a standard-dose PET image; after learning from the training samples the network parameters are fixed, realizing three-dimensional PET image reconstruction starting from low-dose PET raw data, thereby obtaining a low-dose PET reconstructed image which has a lower noise and a higher resolution compared with the traditional reconstruction algorithm and image domain noise reduction processing.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2021Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignees: ZHEJIANG LAB, MINFOUND MEDICAL SYSTEMS CO., LTDInventors: Wentao Zhu, Bao Yang, Long Zhou, Hongwei Ye, Ling Chen, Fan Rao, Yaofa Wang

Patent number: 11823384Abstract: Disclosed is a CT image generation method for attenuation correction of PET images. According to the method, a CT image and a PET image at T1 and a PET image at T2 are acquired and input into a trained deep learning network to obtain a CT image at T2; the CT image can be applied to the attenuation correction of the PET image, thereby obtaining more an accurate PET AC (Attenuation Correction) image. According to the CT image generation method for attenuation correction of PET images, the dosage of X-rays received by a patient in the whole image acquisition stage can be reduced, and physiological and psychological pressure of the patient is relieved. In addition, the later image acquisition only needs a PET imaging device, without the need of PET/CT device, cost of imaging resource distribution can be reduced, and the imaging expense of the whole stage is reduced.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignees: ZHEJIANG LAB, MINFOUND MEDICAL SYSTEMS CO., LTDInventors: Fan Rao, Wentao Zhu, Bao Yang, Ling Chen, Hongwei Ye

Patent number: 11715562Abstract: Disclosed is a method for multi-center effect compensation based on a PET/CT intelligent diagnosis system. The method includes the following steps: estimating multi-center effect parameters of a test center B relative to a training center A by implementing a nonparametric mathematical method for data of the training center A and the test center B based on a location-scale model about additive and multiplicative multi-center effect parameters, and using the parameters to compensate the data of the test center B to eliminate a multi-center effect between the test center B and the training center A. According to the present disclosure, the multi-center effect between the training center A and the test center B can be compensated, so that the compensated data of the test center B can be used in the model trained by the training center A, and the generalization ability of the model is indirectly improved.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignees: ZHEJIANG LAB, MINFOUND MEDICAL SYSTEMS CO., LTDInventors: Ling Chen, Wentao Zhu, Bao Yang, Fan Rao, Hongwei Ye, Yaofa Wang

Patent number: 11704773Abstract: Disclosed is an automatic reorientation method from an SPECT three-dimensional reconstructed image to a standard view, wherein a rigid registration parameter P between a SPECT three-dimensional reconstructed image A and a standard SPECT image R is extracted by using a rigid registration algorithm to form a mapping database of A and P; features of the image A are extracted by using a three-layer convolution module, and are converted into a 6-dimensional feature vector T after three times of full connection, and T is applied to A through a spatial transformer network to form an orientation result predicted by the network, thus establishing the automatic reorientation model of the SPECT three-dimensional reconstructed image. The SPECT three-dimensional reconstructed image to be orientated is taken as an input. A standard view can be obtained by using the automatic reorientation model of the SPECT three-dimensional reconstructed image for automatic turning.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2022Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: ZHEJIANG LABInventors: Duo Zhang, Wentao Zhu, Ling Chen, Fan Rao, Bao Yang, Hui Shen
