    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Image Reconstruction
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) combination offers unique imaging possibilities.
    • Simultaneously acquired PET data reconstruction can be enhanced by leveraging MRI's high spatial resolution.
    • Existing reconstruction methods may have limitations in incorporating structural information effectively.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a new prior for maximum a posteriori (MAP) reconstruction that incorporates structural information from MRI to enhance PET image reconstruction.
    • To combine the strengths of existing priors, offering edge guidance and edge-preserving properties.
    • To create a segmentation-free, convex prior without assumptions on PET-MRI edge correlation.

    Main Methods:

    • Proposed a novel prior for MAP reconstruction integrating structural information from MRI into PET data.
    • The prior is designed to be efficient at edges and reduce to edge-preserving total variation when no structural information is available.
    • Evaluated the prior using simulated brain phantom data and real data from a Siemens Biograph mMR (hardware phantom and clinical scan).

    Main Results:

    • Simulations demonstrated the new prior offers a superior trade-off between enhancing anatomical boundaries and preserving unique features compared to other priors.
    • The proposed method showed improved mean absolute bias-to-mean standard deviation ratio, relative L2-error, and structural similarity index.
    • Real data results confirmed the prior's capability in promoting well-defined anatomical boundaries in both phantom and clinical scans.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel prior effectively utilizes MRI structural information to enhance PET image reconstruction.
    • The method provides superior image quality by improving anatomical boundary definition and feature preservation.
    • This approach holds promise for improving diagnostic accuracy in combined PET-MRI applications.
