Title: Donghwi Hwang: Innovator in Positron Emission Tomography
Introduction
Donghwi Hwang is a prominent inventor based in Seoul, South Korea. He has made significant contributions to the field of medical imaging, particularly in positron emission tomography (PET). His innovative work has led to the development of advanced imaging systems that enhance diagnostic capabilities.
Latest Patents
Donghwi Hwang holds 2 patents related to positron emission tomography systems and image reconstruction methods. His latest patents include a positron emission tomography system that features a collection unit for gathering PET sinograms. The system also includes an image generation unit that applies the sinogram to a maximum likelihood expectation maximization algorithm with time-of-flight (MLAA with TOF). This process generates both a first emission image and a first attenuation image, along with a non-attenuation corrected (NAC) image. A control unit then selects one of these images as an input for generating a final attenuation image using a learned deep learning algorithm.
