Area of Science:

  • Nuclear medicine and imaging science
  • Biophysics and plant physiology

Background:

  • High-resolution positron emission tomography (PET) scanners are increasingly utilized in plant studies for noninvasive metabolic and physiological analysis.
  • The Plant Tomographic Imaging System (PlanTIS) features detector-free regions, leading to missing data (gaps) in sinogram acquisition, which can cause artifacts in reconstructed images.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate three distinct gap-filling methods for addressing missing sinogram data specific to the 3D PlanTIS scanner.
  • To assess the effectiveness of these methods in improving image reconstruction quality for plant PET imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Three gap-filling techniques were applied to 3D PlanTIS sinogram data: linear interpolation (transaxial), bicubic interpolation (transradial), and inpainting (transangular).
  • Gap-filled sinograms were reconstructed using the analytical 3D reprojection (3DRP) method.
  • Quantitative (Mean Square Error, Coefficient of Variation) and visual assessments were performed using a 3D numerical Shepp-Logan phantom and the NEMA image quality phantom.

Main Results:

  • All three proposed gap-filling methods significantly improved the quality of reconstructed images, both quantitatively and visually.
  • The methods effectively compensated for missing data, reducing artifacts and enhancing image fidelity.
  • The combination of gap-filling followed by analytical 3DRP reconstruction proved to be a viable alternative for PlanTIS and similar PET systems.

Conclusions:

  • The developed gap-filling strategies are effective for reconstructing high-resolution PET data from scanners with detector-free regions, such as PlanTIS.
  • These methods offer an improved approach for quantitative and qualitative analysis in plant PET imaging.
  • The proposed techniques are applicable to other PET scanners within the ClearPET family.
