Abstract

Systems and methods include acquisition of a computed tomography image of an object, determination of a linear attenuation coefficient map based on the computed tomography image, acquisition of positron emission tomography (PET) data of the object, determination of a histoimage of the object based on the PET data, determination of a scatter histoimage based on the histoimage and the linear attenuation coefficient map, determination of a scatter-corrected histoimage based on the histoimage and the scatter histoimage, and input of the computed tomography image and the scatter-corrected histoimage to a trained neural network to generate a PET image.
