This study introduces a novel variational method to simultaneously restore PET images and segment tumors, improving accuracy by addressing partial volume effects. The method enhances tumor delineation for radiation oncology applications.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Image Processing
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Partial volume effect (PVE) significantly degrades PET image quality and tumor segmentation accuracy.
  • Accurate tumor segmentation is critical for radiation oncology applications.
  • Image restoration and tumor segmentation are interdependent processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a variational method for simultaneous PET image restoration and tumor segmentation.
  • To address the challenges posed by PVE in PET imaging.
  • To improve the accuracy of tumor delineation in radiation oncology.

Main Methods:

  • Integrated total variation (TV) semi-blind de-convolution with Mumford-Shah segmentation.
  • Employed TV regularization on tumor edges and L2 regularization within tumor regions.

  • Modeled the blur kernel as an anisotropic Gaussian.
  • Utilized a Γ-convergence approximation and alternating minimization (AM) algorithm for optimization.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved high performance in simultaneous image restoration, tumor segmentation, and blur kernel estimation.
    • Phantom study showed recovery coefficients (RC) close to 1, indicating effective image recovery.
    • Clinical datasets yielded average Dice Similarity Indexes (DSIs) of 0.79 and 0.80 for tumor segmentation.
    • Estimated blur kernel widths had relative errors <19% (transverse) and <7% (axial).

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed variational method effectively performs simultaneous PET image restoration and tumor segmentation.
    • The method demonstrates robustness in handling PVE and accurately delineating tumors.
    • Results support the clinical utility of the method in radiation oncology for improved treatment planning.
