PET is a practical medical imaging technique for brain
function diagnosis. However, the low spatial resolution
limits the use of PET in neurology and disease like
Alzheimer's disease. With the help of MRI-PET, people
can use high resolution MRI to provide anatomical
information to correct partial volume effect of PET
image which is a great cause for low resolution.
Nevertheless, traditional partial volume effect
correction method requires an accurate MRI segmentation
and PVE model estimation which are not usually
applicable. In this work, we proposed a method that is
insensitive to PVE model estimation error and
segmentation error.
