Patent ID: 11823384

Abstract:
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.
