Application of artificial intelligence in PET/CT for the therapy prediction and prognosis evaluation of malignant tumors / 中华核医学与分子影像杂志

ABSTRACT

PET plays an important role in diagnosis, staging, treatment response assessment, recurrence surveillance, follow-up and treatment guidance for the malignancy. Artificial intelligence is the scientific fields using computer and other advanced technologies to simulate human intelligent behaviors and critical thinking, among which machine learning and deep learning are most widely used in medicine. Available big data, the progress of computer science and computational capabilities facilitate the application of artificial intelligence in image analysis. This article reviews the current clinical application research of artificial intelligence in PET/CT imaging used for prognosis and prediction of malignant tumors, and puts forward current challenges and prospects for the future.
