Deep learning-based CT-free attenuation correction for cardiac SPECT: a new approach by Pei Yang, Zeao Zhang, Jianan Wei, Lisha Jiang, Liqian Yu, Huawei Cai, Lin Li, Quan Guo, Zhen Zhao

“…Conclusion We propose a novel DL-based CT-free AC approach for cardiac SPECT, which can generate AC images without the need for a CT scan. By leveraging multi-scale features from both NAC SPECT and CT, the performance of CT-free AC is significantly enhanced, offering a promising alternative for future DL-based AC strategies.…”
