Direct PET Image Reconstruction Incorporating Deep Image Prior and a Forward Projection Model [PDF]

IEEE Trans. Radiat. Plasma Med. Sci. 6 (2022) 841, 2021
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have recently achieved remarkable performance in positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction. In particular, CNN-based direct PET image reconstruction, which directly generates the reconstructed image from the sinogram, has potential applicability to PET image enhancements because it does not require ...

Pets without PETs: on pet owners’ under-estimation of privacy concerns in pet wearables [PDF]

Proceedings on Privacy Enhancing Technologies, 2020
AbstractWe report on a mixed-method, comparative study investigating whether there is a difference between privacy concerns expressed about pet wearables as opposed to human wearables – and more importantly,why. We extracted the privacy concerns found in product reviews (N=8,038) of pet wearables (activity, location, and dual-function trackers ...

Processing optimization with parallel computing for the J-PET tomography scanner [PDF]

, 2015
The Jagiellonian-PET (J-PET) collaboration is developing a prototype TOF-PET detector based on long polymer scintillators. This novel approach exploits the excellent time properties of the plastic scintillators, which permit very precise time ...
