Abstract
Boron-10-containing positron emission tomography (PET) radio-tracer, 18F-FBPA, has been used to evaluate the feasibility and treatment outcomes of Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). The clinical use of PET/MR is increasing and reveals its benefit in certain applications. However, the PET/CT is still the most widely used modality for daily PET practice due to its high quantitative accuracy and relatively low cost. Considering the different attenuation correction maps between PET/CT and PET/MR, comparison of derived image features from these two modalities is critical to identify quantitative imaging biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the comparability of image features extracted from 18F-FBPA PET/CT and PET/MR. A total of 15 patients with malignant brain tumor who underwent 18F-FBPA examinations using both PET/CT and PET/MR on the same day were retrospectively analyzed. Overall, four conventional imaging characteristics and 449 radiomic features were calculated from PET/CT and PET/MR, respectively. A linear regression model and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were estimated to evaluate the comparability of derived features between two modalities. Features were classified into strong, moderate, and weak comparability based on coefficient of determination (r2) and ICC. All of the conventional features, 81.2% of histogram, 37.5% of geometry, 51.5% of texture, and 25% of wavelet-based features, showed strong comparability between PET/CT and PET/MR. With regard to the wavelet filtering, radiomic features without filtering (61.2%) or with low-pass filtering (59.2%) along three axes produced strong comparability between the two modalities. However, only 8.2% of the features with high-pass filtering showed strong comparability. The linear regression models were provided for the features with strong and moderate consensus to interchange the quantitative features between the PET/CT and the PET/MR. All of the conventional and 71% of the radiomic (mostly histogram and texture) features were sufficiently stable and could be interchanged between 18F-FBPA PET with different hybrid modalities using the proposed equations. Our findings suggested that the image features high interchangeability may facilitate future studies in comparing PET/CT and PET/MR.

Abstract
Radiomics has undergone considerable development in recent years. In PET imaging, very promising results concerning the ability of handcrafted features to predict the biological characteristics of lesions and to assess patient prognosis or response to treatment have been reported in the literature. This article presents a checklist for designing a reliable radiomic study, gives an overview of the steps of the pipeline, and outlines approaches for data harmonization. Tips are provided for critical reading of the content of articles. The advantages and limitations of handcrafted radiomics compared with deep-learning approaches for the characterization of PET images are also discussed.

Abstract
We highlight emerging uses of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of theranostics, focusing on its significant potential to enable routine and reliable personalization of radiopharmaceutical therapies (RPTs). Personalized RPTs require patient-specific dosimetry calculations accompanying therapy. Additionally we discuss the potential to exploit biological information from diagnostic and therapeutic molecular images to derive biomarkers for absorbed dose and outcome prediction; toward personalization of therapies. We try to motivate the nuclear medicine community to expand and align efforts into making routine and reliable personalization of RPTs a reality.

Novel data-driven, equation-free method captures spatio-temporal patterns of neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease: Application of dynamic mode decomposition to PET. Neuroimage Clin 2019; 25:102150. [PMID: 31901793 PMCID: PMC6948364 DOI: 10.1016/j.nicl.2019.102150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2019] [Revised: 12/16/2019] [Accepted: 12/26/2019] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Most neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by progressive loss of neurons throughout the course of disease in the form of specific spatio-temporal patterns. To capture and quantify these coherent patterns across both space and time, traditionally one would either fit a pre-defined model with spatial and temporal parameters or apply analysis in the spatial and temporal domains separately. In this work, we introduce and validate the use of dynamic mode decomposition (DMD), a data-driven multivariate approach, to extract coupled spatio-temporal patterns simultaneously. We apply the method to examine progressive dopaminergic degeneration in 41 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) using [11C](±)dihydrotetrabenazine (DTBZ) Positron Emission Tomography (PET). DMD decomposed the progressive dopaminergic changes in the putamen into two orthogonal temporal progression curves associated with distinct spatial patterns: 1) an anterior-posterior gradient, the expression of which decreased gradually with disease progression with a higher initial expression in the less affected side; 2) a dorsal-ventral gradient in the less affected side, which was present in early disease stage only. In the caudate, we found a head-tail gradient analogous to the anterior-posterior gradient seen in the putamen; as in the putamen, the expression of this gradient decreased gradually with disease progression with higher expression in the less affected side. Our results with DTBZ PET data show the applicability and relevance of the proposed method for extracting spatio-temporal patterns of neurotransmitter changes due to neurodegeneration. The method is able to decompose known PD-induced dopaminergic denervation into orthogonal (and thus loosely independent) temporal curves, which may be able to reflect and separate either different mechanisms underlying disease progression and disease initiation, or differential involvement of striatal sub-regions at different disease stages, in a completely data driven way. It is expected that this method can be easily extended to other PET tracers and neurodegenerative disorders and may help to elucidate disease mechanisms in more details compared to traditional approaches.
