  • Radiotherapy Planning

Background:

  • Accurate tumour detection, classification, and quantification in early-stage positron emission tomography (PET) imaging are crucial for clinical diagnosis, treatment response assessment, and radiotherapy planning.
  • Existing medical image segmentation techniques often suffer from poor performance, inaccuracy, and significant computational demands, especially for large medical volumes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel application of artificial neural networks (ANNs) in the wavelet domain for enhanced PET volume segmentation.
  • To evaluate ANN performance using various training algorithms and compare results with conventional segmentation methods.

Main Methods:

  • Developed and applied a novel artificial neural network (ANN) model for PET image segmentation within the wavelet domain.
