Deep learning models enhance sparse thyroid cancer scan images using therapeutic data

Researchers have developed deep learning models, specifically Restormer-based architectures, to enhance the quality of sparse planar images used in diagnosing differentiated thyroid cancer. By training models on high-quality post-therapeutic iodine-131 scans, they achieved superior image reconstruction compared to models trained solely on lower-quality diagnostic scans. The best performing model, PT_DLx2+, demonstrated improved image quality and diagnostic confidence, enabling potential acceleration of scan acquisition times without compromising diagnostic accuracy.

    Leveraging High-Activity Post-Therapeutic I-131 Scans for Deep Learning Reconstruction of Extremely Sparse Planar Images in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

    Background: Diagnostic I-131 whole-body planar imaging in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is count-limited by low administered activity, and quality worsens under rapid acquisition. Models trained on such data struggle because their targets lack photon statistics. Purpose: To…
