Abstract
Various systems and computer-implemented methods for background radiation based attenuation correction are disclosed. Nuclear scan data including scan data associated with a first imaging modality and background radiation data are received. An initial background radiation attenuation map is generated and provided to a trained model configured to generate a final background radiation based attenuation map from the initial background radiation attenuation map. Attenuation correction of the scan data associated with the first imaging modality is performed based on the background radiation based attenuation map and a nuclear image is reconstructed from attenuation corrected scan data associated with the first imaging modality.
