Abstract
Systems and methods for reconstructing medical images based on the trained deep learning processes, and for training deep learning processes, are disclosed. In some examples, image measurement data is received. A histo-image is generated based on the image measurement data. Further, an attenuation map, such as a μ-map, is received. An attenuation histo-image is generated based on the attenuation map. Further, a trained machine learning process, such as a trained neural network, is applied to features generated from the histo-image and the attenuation histo-image. Based on the application of the machine learning process to the histo-image and the attenuation histo-image, output image data characterizing an image volume is generated. In some examples, a machine learning process is trained based on histo-images and corresponding attenuation histo-images. The trained machine learning process may be employed to reconstruct images, such as positron emission tomography (PET) images.
