A novel loss function to reproduce texture features for deep learning-based MRI-to-CT synthesis.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Studies on computed tomography (CT) synthesis based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have mainly focused on pixel-wise consistency, but the texture features of regions of interest (ROIs) have not received appropriate attention.

A quality assurance framework for routine monitoring of deep learning cardiac substructure computed tomography segmentation models in radiotherapy.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: For autosegmentation models, the data used to train the model (e.g., public datasets and/or vendor-collected data) and the data on which the model is deployed in the clinic are typically not the same, potentially impacting the performance...

Deep learning in computed tomography super resolution using multi-modality data training.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: One of the limitations in leveraging the potential of artificial intelligence in X-ray imaging is the limited availability of annotated training data. As X-ray and CT shares similar imaging physics, one could achieve cross-domain data sha...

Utilizing deep learning techniques to improve image quality and noise reduction in preclinical low-dose PET images in the sinogram domain.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Low-dose positron emission tomography (LD-PET) imaging is commonly employed in preclinical research to minimize radiation exposure to animal subjects. However, LD-PET images often exhibit poor quality and high noise levels due to the low ...

Feasibility of Monte Carlo dropout-based uncertainty maps to evaluate deep learning-based synthetic CTs for adaptive proton therapy.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Deep learning has shown promising results to generate MRI-based synthetic CTs and to enable accurate proton dose calculations on MRIs. For clinical implementation of synthetic CTs, quality assurance tools that verify their quality and rel...

Study of multistep Dense U-Net-based automatic segmentation for head MRI scans.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Despite extensive efforts to obtain accurate segmentation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of a head, it remains challenging primarily due to variations in intensity distribution, which depend on the equipment and parameters used...

BUS-BRA: A breast ultrasound dataset for assessing computer-aided diagnosis systems.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems on breast ultrasound (BUS) aim to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of breast screening, helping specialists to detect and classify breast lesions. CAD system development requires a set of annot...

Robust stochastic optimization of needle configurations for robotic HDR prostate brachytherapy.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Ideally, inverse planning for HDR brachytherapy (BT) should include the pose of the needles which define the trajectory of the source. This would be particularly interesting when considering the additional freedom and accuracy in needle p...

Deep learning-based ultrasound auto-segmentation of the prostate with brachytherapy implanted needles.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Accurate segmentation of the clinical target volume (CTV) corresponding to the prostate with or without proximal seminal vesicles is required on transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images during prostate brachytherapy procedures. Implanted need...

Technical note: Evaluation of deep learning based synthetic CTs clinical readiness for dose and NTCP driven head and neck adaptive proton therapy.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Adaptive proton therapy workflows rely on accurate imaging throughout the treatment course. Our centre currently utilizes weekly repeat CTs (rCTs) for treatment monitoring and plan adaptations. However, deep learning-based methods have re...
