Artificial intelligence guides lower PET tracer dose
By Erik L. Ridley
In PET imaging, the amount of radiotracer dose correlates with the level of image quality. But what if artificial intelligence (AI) could enable PET to be performed using only 1% of current dose levels -- speeding exam times, decreasing radiation exposure, lowering costs, and alleviating shortages in radiotracers?

Deep learning analyzes PET for signs of dementia
By Wayne Forrest
A deep-learning algorithm that analyzed FDG-PET was able to differentiate between normal cognition and dementia. Such models could someday help radiologists diagnose Alzheimer's disease, especially if they don't see the condition often, according to a study presented at the RSNA 2017 meeting.
