DESCRIPTION:Sensitivity in PET can be increased by lowering the energy thr
 eshold\, to include Compton-scattered photons. However\, exact and correct
  analysis of those photons is statistically uncertain\, especially within 
 a high-resolution scanner with a large number of noisy detectors. This tal
 k presents the work-to-date on an alternate method that is based on neural
  networks. A proof of concept has been conducted\, as well as GATE Monte-C
 arlo simulations. Results to date show significant improvement over "tradi
 tional" methods based on explicit Compton-kinematics analysis.\n\nhttps://
