We extensively evaluated DDPET-3D on 100 patients with 6 different low-dose levels (a total of 600 testing studies), and demonstrated superior performance over previous diffusion models for 3D imaging problems as well as previous noise-aware medical image denoising models.

The rapid tracer kinetics of rubidium-82 ($^{82}$Rb) and high variation of cross-frame distribution in dynamic cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) raise significant challenges for inter-frame motion correction, particularly for the early frames where conventional intensity-based image registration techniques are not applicable.
