Measurement of TNR of a voxel-level can be particularly problematic due to high image noise. In this work, we perform voxel-level TNR detection using artificial neural networks (ANN) and compare their performance to previously used standard statistical tests. Different ANN architectures were trained and tested using simulated and real human PET imaging data, obtained with the tracer [\n                    <jats:sup>11<\/jats:sup>\n                    C]raclopride (a D2 receptor antagonist). A distinguishing feature of our approach is the use of \u2018personalized\u2019 ANNs that are designed to operate on the image from a specific subject and scan. Training of personalized ANNs was performed using simulated images that have been matched with the acquired image in terms of the signal, resolution, and noise.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>In our tests of TNR detection performance, the F-test of the linear parametric neurotransmitter PET model fit residuals was used as the reference method. For a moderate TNR magnitude, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves in simulated tests were 0.64 for the F-test and 0.77\u20130.79 for the best ANNs. At a fixed FP rate of 0.01, the true positive rates were 0.6 for the F-test and 0.8\u20130.9 for the ANNs. The F-test detected on average 28% of a 8.4 mm cluster with a strong TNR, while the best ANN detected 47%. When applied to a real image, no significant abnormalities in the ANN outputs were observed. These results demonstrate that personalized ANNs may offer a greater detection sensitivity of dopamine release and other types of TNR compared to previously used method based on the F-test.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6560\/abc230","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,16]],"date-time":"2020-10-16T18:31:19Z","timestamp":1602873079000},"page":"235004","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Detection of transient neurotransmitter response using personalized neural networks"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"65","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0141-7628","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivan S","family":"Klyuzhin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6258-8450","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Connor W J","family":"Bevington","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8834-3547","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ju-Chieh (Kevin)","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vesna","family":"Sossi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"pmbabc230bib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1371","DOI":"10.1109\/TMI.2018.2883756","type":"journal-article","article-title":"Direct estimation of voxel-wise neurotransmitter response maps from dynamic PET data","volume":"38","author":"Angelis","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
