Abstract

We propose a model-driven projected algebraic reconstruction technique (PART)-network (PART-Net) that leverages the advantages of the traditional model-based method and the neural network to improve the imaging quality of diffuse fluorescence tomography. In this algorithm, nonnegative prior information is incorporated into the ART iteration process to better guide the optimization process, and thereby improve imaging quality. On this basis, PART in conjunction with a residual convolutional neural network is further proposed to obtain high-fidelity image reconstruction. The numerical simulation results demonstrate that the PART-Net algorithm effectively improves noise robustness and reconstruction accuracy by at least 1–2 times and exhibits superiority in spatial resolution and quantification, especially for a small-sized target ($r = 2\;{\rm mm}$), compared with the traditional ART algorithm. Furthermore, the phantom and in vivo experiments verify the effectiveness of the PART-Net, suggesting strong generalization capability and a great potential for practical applications.
