Abstract:
A method for generating attenuation map is disclosed. The method includes acquiring an anatomic image and PET data indicative of a subject, wherein the anatomic image comprises a plurality of voxels. The method also includes fetching a reference image to register the anatomic image, the reference image includes voxel segmentation information. The method further includes segmenting the anatomic image into a plurality of regions based on the voxel segmentation information. The method further includes generating a first attenuation map corresponding to the anatomic image by assigning attenuation coefficients to the plurality of regions. The method further includes calculating a registration accuracy between the anatomic image and the reference image. The method further includes determining a probability distribution of attenuation coefficient. The method further includes updating the first attenuation map iteratively based on the probability distribution of attenuation coefficient and the PET data to obtain a final attenuation map.
