Researchers have developed a new 3D conditional rectified flow framework, termed 3D Flow, to efficiently denoise Positron Emission Tomography (PET) images. This method significantly reduces inference time to approximately 30 seconds, a substantial improvement over existing 3D deep diffusion models that can take hours. The framework utilizes an optimized non-uniform sampling strategy and a one-pass linear-interpolant velocity-matching objective. Evaluations indicate that 3D Flow achieves favorable image quality and lesion conspicuity, even with ultra-low radiation doses, and shows promising zero-shot transfer capabilities to independent clinical datasets and varying dose levels.
