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?
