Paper Abstract
PET image reconstruction is challenging due to the ill-poseness of the inverse problem and limited number of detected photons. Recently deep neural networks have been widely applied to medical imaging denoising applications. In this work, based on the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm, we propose an unrolled neural network framework for PET image reconstruction, named EMnet. An innovative feature of the proposed framework is that the deep neural network is combined with the EM update steps in a whole graph. Thus data consistency can act as a constraint during network training. Both simulation data and real data are used to evaluate the proposed method. Quantification results show that our proposed EMnet method can outperform the neural network denoising and Gaussian denoising methods.
