Description
Jingxi Hu and a large team wrote a 2026 paper on fast body scans for children with lymphoma. These children face many PET and CT scans, and the CT part adds radiation dose. The team built a tool that starts from very short PET data alone. It aims to screen and sort cases before any CT is done.
They trained their model on scans from a couple of hundred young patients. Short, uncorrected PET images were mapped to full-quality views. The team compared several model types under the same rules. Two doctors also graded the images. The shortest setting, just a few seconds, got special focus for quick triage.
