Automated liver lesion detection in 68Ga DOTATATE PET/CT using a deep fully convolutional neural network

Abstract Background Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors most commonly metastasize to the liver; however, high normal background 68Ga-DOTATATE activity and high image noise make metastatic lesions difficult to detect. The purpose of this study is to develop a rapid, automated and highly spec...
