Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Artificial Intelligence
Radiology

Background:

Deep learning (DL) shows potential for dose reduction in pediatric PET.
Conventional DL requires extensive datasets for generalizability.
Patch-based DL (PDL) learns from single high-quality scans to reduce training burden.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a PDL approach for pediatric whole-body PET.
To improve image quality and quantitative accuracy with reduced radiation dose or scan time.
To minimize the need for large, diverse training datasets.

Main Methods:

A PDL model was trained on a single high-quality pediatric PET/CT dataset.
Reduced-count data (20s/bed) were simulated by truncating standard 90s/bed acquisitions.
The PDL model was tested on a NEMA phantom and 88 pediatric patient datasets.

Main Results:

PDL preserved spatial resolution and contrast while reducing noise in phantom studies.
Observer studies found PDL-enhanced 20s/bed images comparable or superior to standard 90s/bed images in 85% of cases.
Quantitative analysis showed minimal bias in SUV measurements, outperforming regularized reconstruction.

Conclusions:

PDL enables significant reduction in pediatric PET acquisition time (to 20s/bed) or administered activity.
The method maintains spatial resolution, contrast, quantitative accuracy, and diagnostic quality.
PDL offers a promising solution for low-dose, time-efficient pediatric PET imaging.
