Table 1. Comparison of SD value of background tissue between reconstructed images and real images using 8%PET images as input.
Group | Liver | Lung | Aorta | Lumbar spine |
---|---|---|---|---|
3D Unet-15s | 0.20 (0.14, 0.28)* | 0.06 (0.05, 0.10) | 0.12 (0.09, 0.15)* | 0.27 (0.16, 0.37) |
P2P-15s | 0.31 (0.23, 0.37)* | 0.11 (0.09, 0.13)* | 0.16 (0.15, 0.23) | 0.27 (0.24, 0.34) |
8%PET | 0.86 (0.64, 1.06) | 0.22 (0.16, 0.25) | 0.55 (0.46, 0.77) | 1.20 (0.75, 1.57) |
s-PET | 0.25 (0.19, 0.29) | 0.08 (0.06, 0.09) | 0.19 (0.16, 0.20) | 0.27 (0.23, 0.41) |
H | 32.13 | 35.22 | 35.11 | 28.65 |
P | <0.0001 | <0.0001 | <0.0001 | <0.0001 |
The italic font represents a statistical difference between this value and that of the 8%PET group. And * indicates that the value is statistically significant compared with the s-PET group. SD, standard deviation; PET, positron emission tomography; s-PET, standard positron emission tomography (per bed time: 90 s); 3D Unet, a deep network model based on CNN; P2P, Pixel2Pixel deep network model based on GAN; H, H value for the Kruskal-Wallis method; CNN, convolutional neural network; GAN, generative adversarial network.
