Proposal to Improve the Image Quality of Short-Acquisition Time-Dedicated Breast Positron Emission Tomography Using the Pix2pix Generative Adversarial Network

Abstract: 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 w… Show more

“…Pix2Pix, introduced in 2016, is indeed a notable variant of GAN, specifically designed for image-to-image translation tasks [43][44][45][46]. It is particularly known for its use of an encoder-decoder architecture, which has been influential in various image conversion applications.…”

“…GAN can be used to denoise medical images by learning to distinguish between true anatomical structures and noise or artifacts. Cleaner images can improve the accuracy of breast cancer detection algorithms by reducing false positives and enhancing the visibility of subtle abnormalities [65][66][67].…”
