Article Abstract

Positron emission tomography (PET) is an ill-posed inverse problem and suffers high noise due to limited number of detected events. Prior information can be used to improve the quality of reconstructed PET images. Deep neural networks have also been applied to regularized image reconstruction. One method is to use a pretrained denoising neural network to represent the PET image and to perform a constrained maximum likelihood estimation. In this work, we propose to use a generative adversarial network (GAN) to further improve the network performance. We also modify the objective function to include a data-matching term on the network input. Experimental studies using computer-based Monte Carlo simulations and real patient datasets demonstrate that the proposed method leads to noticeable improvements over the kernel-based and U-net-based regularization methods in terms of lesion contrast recovery versus background noise trade-offs.

Molecular dynamics simulations are essential for studying complex molecular systems, but their high computational cost limits scalability. Coarse-grained (CG) models reduce this cost by simplifying the system, yet traditional approaches often fail to maintain dynamic consistency, compromising their reliability in kinetics-driven processes. Here, we introduce an adversarial training framework that aligns CG trajectory ensembles with all-atom (AA) reference dynamics, ensuring both thermodynamic and kinetic fidelity.

The generated lung nodule data plays an indispensable role in the development of intelligent assisted diagnosis of lung cancer. Existing generative models, primarily based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPM), have demonstrated effectiveness but also come with certain limitations: GANs often produce artifacts and unnatural boundaries, and due to dataset limitations, they struggle with irregular nodules. While DDPMs are capable of generating a diverse range of nodules, their inherent randomness and lack of control limit their applicability in tasks such as segmentation.
