abstract
Cerebrovascular disease encompasses a broad spectrum of diseases such as stroke, hemorrhage, and cognitive decline associated with vascular narrowing, obstruction, rupture, and inflammation, among other issues. Recent advances in hardware and software have led to improvements in brain PET. Although still in its infancy, machine learning using convolutional neural networks is gaining traction in this area, often with a focus on providing high-quality images with reduced noise using a shorter acquisition time or less radiation exposure for the patient.
