Dictionary-Free MRI PERK: Parameter Estimation via Regression with Kernels.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
This paper introduces a fast, general method for dictionary-free parameter estimation in quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (QMRI) parameter estimation via regression with kernels (PERK). PERK first uses prior distributions and the nonlinear MR ...

Deep Neural Networks for Ultrasound Beamforming.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
We investigate the use of deep neural networks (DNNs) for suppressing off-axis scattering in ultrasound channel data. Our implementation operates in the frequency domain via the short-time Fourier transform. The inputs to the DNN consisted of the sep...

Isotropic Reconstruction of MR Images Using 3D Patch-Based Self-Similarity Learning.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Isotropic three-dimensional (3D) acquisition is a challenging task in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Particularly in cardiac MRI, due to hardware and time limitations, current 3D acquisitions are limited by low-resolution, especially in the throug...

Concatenated and Connected Random Forests With Multiscale Patch Driven Active Contour Model for Automated Brain Tumor Segmentation of MR Images.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Segmentation of brain tumors from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data sets is of great importance for improved diagnosis, growth rate prediction, and treatment planning. However, automating this process is challenging due to the presence of severe ...

Deep Learning for Quantification of Epicardial and Thoracic Adipose Tissue From Non-Contrast CT.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a visceral fat deposit related to coronary artery disease. Fully automated quantification of EAT volume in clinical routine could be a timesaving and reliable tool for cardiovascular risk assessment. We propose a ne...

A Deep Cascade of Convolutional Neural Networks for Dynamic MR Image Reconstruction.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Inspired by recent advances in deep learning, we propose a framework for reconstructing dynamic sequences of 2-D cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) images from undersampled data using a deep cascade of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to accelerate ...

Z-Index Parameterization for Volumetric CT Image Reconstruction via 3-D Dictionary Learning.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Despite the rapid developments of X-ray cone-beam CT (CBCT), image noise still remains a major issue for the low dose CBCT. To suppress the noise effectively while retain the structures well for low dose CBCT image, in this paper, a sparse constraint...

End-to-End Adversarial Retinal Image Synthesis.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
In medical image analysis applications, the availability of the large amounts of annotated data is becoming increasingly critical. However, annotated medical data is often scarce and costly to obtain. In this paper, we address the problem of synthesi...

Low-Dose Lung CT Image Restoration Using Adaptive Prior Features From Full-Dose Training Database.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
The valuable structure features in full-dose computed tomography (FdCT) scans can be exploited as prior knowledge for low-dose CT (LdCT) imaging. However, lacking the capability to represent local characteristics of interested structures of the LdCT ...

Anatomically Constrained Neural Networks (ACNNs): Application to Cardiac Image Enhancement and Segmentation.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Incorporation of prior knowledge about organ shape and location is key to improve performance of image analysis approaches. In particular, priors can be useful in cases where images are corrupted and contain artefacts due to limitations in image acqu...
