Abstract
Systems and methods of generating improved resolution histo-images are disclosed. A system includes a positron emission tomography (PET) imaging modality configured to execute a first scan to acquire a first PET dataset and a processor configured to back-project the first PET dataset to generate a first histo-image having a first resolution, input the first histo-image to a trained neural network, receive a second histo-image from the trained neural network, and input the second histo-image to a reconstruction process configured to generate a reconstructed PET image. The second histo-image has a second resolution higher than the first resolution. The second histo-image represents the first PET dataset.
