- Deep Learning derived Input Function in dynamic PET
About the technology
With DLIF we present a non-invasive, automatically generated input-function for kinetic modeling in dynamic PET. Our deep learning models are trained end-to-end with dynamic PET images as input and ready-to-use input function as output. The model show very strong correlation and non-significant difference in influx (Ki) for myocardium and tumor derived with AIF and DLIF, respectively.
Value proposition
- No surgery requirements
- Compatible with any PET scanner and the most widely used tracers
- Provides results that are highly accurate with less bias and variation than state of the art
Areas of application
- Non-invasive input function for dynamic PET where blood sampling is not possible
- Preclinical or clinical applications
- Could be integrated into external software independent of PET scanner vendor
- As a part of the PET scanner-software to deliver the DLIF together with the PET images
Resources and partners
- The Norwegian Nuclear Medicine Consortium 180°N
- Tromsø Research Foundation
- Center for Research-based Innovation (SFI) Visual Intelligence
- Proof of concept validated for small scale research in mice
Comparison to state of the art technology
