1Input:A set of training low-dose PET imagesIL={I1L,I2L,,INL},a set of trainingfull-dose PET imagesIF={I1F,I2F,,INF}.N is the total number of training subjects.Parameters:concatenated numberH.2Initialize:h=1.ILis used as the initial estimationI~F(0)of the set of full-doseimagesIF.3whileh<H4Perform the 3D c-GANs betweenI~F(h1)andIFto obtain the generator networkGhand discriminator networkDhaccording to Eq.(4).5For each training subjecti(i=1,2,,N),use the above trained generator networkGhto generate the estimated full-dose PET imageI~iF(h).Finally, get the estimations forall training subjectsI~F(h).6h=h+1.7Endwhile8Output:The trained generator networks{G1,G2,,GH}and discriminator networks{D1,D2,,DH}.
