Rapid high-quality PET Patlak parametric image generation based on direct reconstruction and temporal nonlocal neural network

Parametric imaging based on dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) has wide applications in neurology. Compared to indirect methods, direct reconstruction methods, which reconstruct parametric images directly from the raw PET data, have superior image quality due to better noise modeling and richer information extracted from the PET raw data. For low-dose scenarios, the advantages of direct methods are more obvious. However, the wide...
