  • Publication number: 20240144553
    Abstract: Systems and methods for image reconstruction are provided. A method may include obtaining image data that includes information of a plurality of coincidence events; for each of the plurality of coincidence events, identifying, based on the information of the coincidence event, identities of two original scintillator elements at each of which a photon of the coincidence event was detected; obtaining a depth of interaction (DOI) of each photon of the coincidence event within one original scintillator element of the two original scintillator elements; and determining, based on the identities and the DOIs of the two original scintillator elements, identities of two corrected scintillator elements each of which corresponds to an original scintillator element of the two original scintillator elements; and generating a reconstructed image based on the identities of two corrected scintillator elements of each of the plurality of coincidence events.

  • Publication number: 20230342939
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for image reconstruction and processing. The method may include obtaining image data of an object acquired by an imaging device. The method may include determining one or more regions of interest (ROIs) of the object. The method may also include determining, based on each ROI of the one or more ROIs, a target portion of the image data corresponding to the ROI among the image data. The method may further include reconstructing, based on the target portion of the image data, one or more images of the ROI.

  • Publication number: 20230206517
    Abstract: A system for PET image reconstruction is provided. The system may obtain PET data of a subject. The PET data may be associated with a plurality of coincidence events, which includes scattering events. The system may also generate a preliminary scatter sinogram relating to the scattering events based on the PET data. The system may also generate a target scatter sinogram relating to the scattering events by applying a scatter sinogram generator based on the preliminary scatter sinogram. The target scatter sinogram may have a higher image quality than the preliminary scatter sinogram. The system may further reconstruct a target PET image of the subject based on the PET data and the target scatter sinogram.
