Multimodal Feature-Guided Diffusion Model for Low-Dose PET Image Denoising with MRI

Key Points

Images produced by the proposed multimodal diffusion model showed superior denoising performance over existing methods.
Qualitative and quantitative evaluations confirmed that MRI data effectively enhances the quality of low-dose PET imaging.
Utilizing a cross-modal guided restoration network, we optimized feature fusion between LPET and MRI images for better results.
The study highlights the importance of integrating MRI with PET imaging to reduce radiation risk in patient care.

Abstract

Motivation: With the advent of integrated PET/MR imaging devices, the high-resolution anatomical information from MRI can help enhance the quality of PET images. Goal(s): Utilizing MRI structural information to optimize the quality of low-dose PET imaging, thereby reducing the risk of radiation exposure for patients. Approach: We use a cross-modal guided restoration network to fully exploit the modality-specific features of LPET and MR images and employ cross-attention mechanisms and positional encoding at multiple feature levels for better feature fusion. Results: The images generated by our proposed network showed superior performance compared to those produced by other networks in both qualitative and quantitative evaluations. Impact: The research can enhance the quality of low-dose PET imaging and reduce the radiation risk for patients, and it also inspires more feasible imaging solutions for the global health field, holding significant scientific and clinical importance.
