报告摘要：PET is a highly sensitive molecular imaging modality that is widely used in oncology, neurology, and biological research. It is capable of monitoringe the spatiotemporal distribution of radiotracers without any mechanical or electronic scanning. Thus PET data is intrinsically dynamic and the temporal resolution is only limited by the counting statistics. In this talk I will describe our work on applying kernel learning to dynamic PET image reconstruction to reduce statistical noise and hence to improve temporal resolution as well as to reduce radiation dose. I will first cover the basic concept of kernel based PET image reconstruction and then explain how to incorporate anatomical information into the kernel framework. Finally, I will introduce our recent work on the extension of the kernel method to direct parametric reconstruction using both simplified linear model and compartment models.
