Researchers have developed FlowPET, a novel physics-informed framework for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) reconstruction, specifically designed to address challenges in low-count scenarios. Unlike traditional generative models that can cause signal "wash-out," FlowPET utilizes volume-preserving transport in a symplectic phase space, theoretically preventing the collapse of weak signals. The framework enforces data consistency and manages uncertainty through a unique decomposition of the PET operator. Experiments show FlowPET outperforms existing methods in image quality metrics and significantly improves the recovery of low-contrast lesions. AI
