| الوصف: | This study aimed to evaluate the ability of the pix2pix generative adversarial network (GAN) to improve the image quality of low-count dedicated breast positron emission tomography (dbPET). Pairs of full- and low-count dbPET images were collected from 49 breasts. An image synthesis model was constructed using pix2pix GAN for each acquisition time with training (3776 pairs from 16 breasts) and validation data (1652 pairs from 7 breasts). Test data included dbPET images synthesized by our model from 26 breasts with short acquisition times. Two breast radiologists visually compared the overall image quality of the original and synthesized images derived from the short-acquisition time data (scores of 1–5). Further quantitative evaluation was performed using a peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity (SSIM). In the visual evaluation, both readers revealed an average score of >3 for all images. The quantitative evaluation revealed significantly higher SSIM (p < 0.01) and PSNR (p < 0.01) for 26 s synthetic images and higher PSNR for 52 s images (p < 0.01) than for the original images. Our model improved the quality of low-count time dbPET synthetic images, with a more significant effect on images with lower counts. |
