Abstract

PET-CT is a high-end medical imaging technology that can detect tumors in the early stage, and has been widely used in clinical practice.Obtaining high-quality images is a prerequisite for doctors to make a correct diagnosis.For PET itself, how to continuously improve its resolution is a challenging problem.In this study, Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) combined with Wasserstein distance and gradient penalty technology was used to achieve PET image super-resolution reconstruction.The experimental results show that the structural similarity of the final image reaches more than 60%.

Keywords
