Abstract
A PET image reconstruction method, including: 1) injecting a PET radioactive tracer into a biological tissue, scanning by a PET device, and detecting and counting coincidence photons to obtain an original protection data matrix; 2) establishing a measurement equation model; 3) splitting the reconstruction problem into a first sub-problem and a second sub-problem; 4) solving the first sub-problem by a filtered back-projection layer, solving the second sub-problem by an improved denoising convolutional neural network, where the filtered back-projection layer and the improved denoising convolutional neural network are connected in series to form a filtered back-projection network (FBP-Net); 5) inputting original projection data into the FBP-Net, and using an image as a tag to adjust parameters of the FBP-Net to reduce an error between an output of the FBP-Net and the tag; and 6) inputting projection data to be reconstructed into the trained FBP-Net to obtain a desired reconstructed image.
