BACKGROUND: Many studies have utilized optical camera systems with volumetric scintillators for quality assurances (QA) to estimate the proton beam range. However, previous analytically driven range estimation methods have the difficulty to derive th...
BACKGROUND: Positron probes can accurately localize malignant tumors by directly detecting positrons emitted from positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals that accumulate in malignant tumors. In the conventional method for direct positron detection, mu...
BACKGROUND: Although low-dose computed tomography (CT) imaging has been more widely adopted in clinical practice to reduce radiation exposure to patients, the reconstructed CT images tend to have more noise, which impedes accurate diagnosis. Recently...
PURPOSE: This work proposes a robot-assisted augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation system for mandibular reconstruction. The system accurately superimposes the preoperative osteotomy plan of the mandible and fibula into a real scene. It assists ...
BACKGROUND: Pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has demonstrated a strong correlation to improved survival in breast cancer (BC) patients. However, pCR rates to NAC are less than 30%, depending on the BC subtype. Ea...
BACKGROUND: Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has gained popularity as breast imaging modality due to its pseudo-3D reconstruction and improved accuracy compared to digital mammography. However, DBT faces challenges in image quality and quantitative...
BACKGROUND: The main application of [18F] FDG-PET ( FDG-PET) and CT images in oncology is tumor identification and quantification. Combining PET and CT images to mine pulmonary perfusion information for functional lung avoidance radiation therapy (FL...
BACKGROUND: Automatic patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) is recently explored using artificial intelligence approaches, and several studies reported the development of machine learning models for predicting the gamma pass rate (GPR) index only...
BACKGROUND: The application of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in image-guided radiotherapy and adaptive radiotherapy remains limited due to its poor image quality.
BACKGROUND: Invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is a primary imaging modality that visualizes the lumen area of coronary arteries for diagnosis and interventional guidance. In the current practice of quantitative coronary analysis (QCA), semi-automat...
