Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that can be used to show brain function. Courts have admitted PET scan evidence in cases involving brain damage, injury, toxic exposure, or illness ("brain trauma") and to support claims of diminished cognitive abilities and ...
Knowledge-based segmentation of attenuation-relevant regions of the head in T1-weighted MR images for attenuation correction in MR/PET systems Attenuation correction is an important prerequisite for quantitative brain PET. In dedicated PET, attenuation correction is based on a transmission scan wh... ...
The 3-slice CNN model with a short-time scan of at least 2 minutes achieved comparable, quantitative prediction of full-time 18F-FBB PET/CT images, with adequate to excellent image quality. Conclusions: The 3-slice CNN model with a residual learning framework is promising for the prediction ...
Figure 1. A PET scan of a patient with uncontrolled complex partial seizures. The temporal lobe on the left side of the brain metabolizes less sugar than the right, confirming for the surgeon the nonfunctioning area of the brain causing seizures....
What is the main reason for a PET scan? Doctors use PET scans to see how well different parts of your body are working, including your heart and brain. Is a PET scan only for cancer? No, a PET scan is not only for cancer. They are also used to find heart problems, brain disorders...
