Abstract

We proposed a maximum a posterior (MAP) framework for incorporating information from co-registered anatomical images into PET image reconstruction through a novel anato-functional joint prior. The characteristic of the utilized hyperbolic potential function is determinate by the voxel intensity differences within the anatomical image, while the penalization is computed based on voxel intensity differences in reconstructed PET images. Using realistic simulated short time 18FDG PET scan data, we optimized the performance of the proposed MAP reconstruction with the joint prior (JP-MAP), and compared its performance with conventional 3D maximum likelihood expectation maximization (MLEM) and MAP reconstructions. The proposed JP-MAP reconstruction algorithm resulted in quantitatively enhanced reconstructed images, as demonstrated in extensive 18FDG PET simulation study.
