Reducing scan time of paediatric 99mTc-DMSA SPECT via deep learning

•SPECT images obtained from both clinical and DL-based methods were similar in quality. •DL has the potential to reduce the scan time of pediatric 99mTc-DMSA SPECT imaging. •The diagnostic accuracy obtained from the DL-based method was 91.67%. AIM To investigate the feasibility of reducing the scan time of paediatric technetium 99m (99mTc) dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) single-photon-emission computed tomographic (SPECT) using a deep learning...
