Three-Dimensional Amyloid-Beta PET Synthesis from Structural MRI with Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks
Motivation: Alzheimer's Disease hallmarks include amyloid-beta deposits and brain atrophy, detectable via PET and MRI scans, respectively. PET is expensive, invasive and exposes patients to ionizing radiation. MRI is cheaper, non-invasive, and free from ionizing radiation but limited to measuring brain atrophy. Goal: To develop an 3D image translation model that synthesizes amyloid-beta PET images from T1-weighted MRI, exploiting the known relationship between amyloid-beta and brain atrophy. Approach: The model was trained on 616 PET/MRI pairs and validated with 264 pairs. Results: The model synthesized amyloid-beta PET images from T1-weighted MRI with high-degree of similarity showing high SSIM and PSNR metrics (SSIM>0.95&PSNR=28). Impact: Our model proves the feasibility of synthesizing amyloid-beta PET images from structural MRI ones, significantly enhancing accessibility for large-cohort studies and early dementia detection, while also reducing cost, invasiveness, and radiation exposure.

Amyloid-Beta Axial Plane PET Synthesis from Structural MRI: An Image Translation Approach for Screening Alzheimer's Disease
In this work, an image translation model is implemented to produce synthetic amyloid-beta PET images from structural MRI that are quantitatively accurate. Image pairs of amyloid-beta PET and structural MRI were used to t…
SSIMTranslationSynthesizing beta-amyloid PET images from T1-weighted Structural MRI: A Preliminary Study
Beta-amyloid positron emission tomography (A$\beta$-PET) imaging has become a critical tool in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research and diagnosis, providing insights into the pathological accumulation of amyloid plaques, on…
Image GenerationWhy Abeta42 Is Much More Toxic Than Abeta40
Amyloid precursor with 770 amino acids dimerizes and aggregates, as do its c terminal 99 amino acids and amyloid 40,42 amino acids fragments. The titled question has been discussed extensively, and here it is addressed f…
