Personalized Models for Injected Activity Levels in SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
We propose a patient-specific ("personalized") approach for tailoring the injected activities to individual patients in order to achieve dose reduction in SPECT-myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). First, we develop a strategy to determine the minimum...

3D Auto-Context-Based Locality Adaptive Multi-Modality GANs for PET Synthesis.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Positron emission tomography (PET) has been substantially used recently. To minimize the potential health risk caused by the tracer radiation inherent to PET scans, it is of great interest to synthesize the high-quality PET image from the low-dose on...

A Recurrent CNN for Automatic Detection and Classification of Coronary Artery Plaque and Stenosis in Coronary CT Angiography.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Various types of atherosclerotic plaque and varying grades of stenosis could lead to different management of patients with a coronary artery disease. Therefore, it is crucial to detect and classify the type of coronary artery plaque, as well as to de...

Hyperspectral Tissue Image Segmentation Using Semi-Supervised NMF and Hierarchical Clustering.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) of tissue samples in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) range provides spectro-chemical and tissue structure information at sub-cellular spatial resolution. Disease states can be directly assessed by analyzing the mid-IR spectra of...

Novel Effective Connectivity Inference Using Ultra-Group Constrained Orthogonal Forward Regression and Elastic Multilayer Perceptron Classifier for MCI Identification.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) detection is important, such that appropriate interventions can be imposed to delay or prevent its progression to severe stages, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Brain connectivity network inferred from the function...

Deep Sequential Segmentation of Organs in Volumetric Medical Scans.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Segmentation in 3-D scans is playing an increasingly important role in current clinical practice supporting diagnosis, tissue quantification, or treatment planning. The current 3-D approaches based on convolutional neural networks usually suffer from...

Synthesizing Chest X-Ray Pathology for Training Deep Convolutional Neural Networks.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Medical datasets are often highly imbalanced with over-representation of prevalent conditions and poor representation of rare medical conditions. Due to privacy concerns, it is challenging to aggregate large datasets between health care institutions....

Splenomegaly Segmentation on Multi-Modal MRI Using Deep Convolutional Networks.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
The findings of splenomegaly, abnormal enlargement of the spleen, is a non-invasive clinical biomarker for liver and spleen diseases. Automated segmentation methods are essential to efficiently quantify splenomegaly from clinically acquired abdominal...

Data-Driven Elasticity Imaging Using Cartesian Neural Network Constitutive Models and the Autoprogressive Method.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Quasi-static elasticity imaging techniques rely on model-based mathematical inverse methods to estimate mechanical parameters from force-displacement measurements. These techniques introduce simplifying assumptions that preclude exploration of unknow...

Unsupervised Feature Extraction via Deep Learning for Histopathological Classification of Colon Tissue Images.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Histopathological examination is today's gold standard for cancer diagnosis. However, this task is time consuming and prone to errors as it requires a detailed visual inspection and interpretation of a pathologist. Digital pathology aims at alleviati...
