Accelerated submillimeter wave-encoded magnetic resonance imaging via deep untrained neural network.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Wave gradient encoding can adequately utilize coil sensitivity profiles to facilitate higher accelerations in parallel magnetic resonance imaging (pMRI). However, there are limitations in mainstream pMRI and a few deep learning (DL) metho...

Self-supervised structural similarity-based convolutional neural network for cardiac diffusion tensor image denoising.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a promising technique for non-invasively investigating the myocardial fiber structures of human heart. However, low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) has been a major limit of cardiac DTI to prevent us from det...

Realistic CT data augmentation for accurate deep-learning based segmentation of head and neck tumors in kV images acquired during radiation therapy.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Using radiation therapy (RT) to treat head and neck (H&N) cancers requires precise targeting of the tumor to avoid damaging the surrounding healthy organs. Immobilisation masks and planning target volume margins are used to attempt to mit...

Pie-Net: Prior-information-enabled deep learning noise reduction for coronary CT angiography acquired with a photon counting detector CT.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Photon-counting-detector CT (PCD-CT) enables the production of virtual monoenergetic images (VMIs) at a high spatial resolution (HR) via simultaneous acquisition of multi-energy data. However, noise levels in these HR VMIs are markedly in...

Endoscopic ultrasound diagnosis system based on deep learning in images capture and segmentation training of solid pancreatic masses.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Early detection of solid pancreatic masses through contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasound (CH-EUS) is important. But CH-EUS is difficult to learn.

Convolutional neural network-based model observer for signal known statistically task in breast tomosynthesis images.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Since human observer studies are resource-intensive, mathematical model observers are frequently used to assess task-based image quality. The most common implementation of these model observers assume that the signal information is exactl...

Deep learning prediction of post-SBRT liver function changes and NTCP modeling in hepatocellular carcinoma based on DGAE-MRI.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) produces excellent local control for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the risk of toxicity for normal liver tissue is still a limiting factor. Normal tissue complication pro...

Fully-automated detection of small bowel carcinoid tumors in CT scans using deep learning.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Small bowel carcinoid tumor is a rare neoplasm and increasing in incidence. Patients with small bowel carcinoid tumors often experience long delays in diagnosis due to the vague symptoms, slow growth of tumors, and lack of clinician aware...

Dose reduction and image enhancement in micro-CT using deep learning.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: In preclinical settings, micro-computed tomography (CT) provides a powerful tool to acquire high resolution anatomical images of rodents and offers the advantage to in vivo non-invasively assess disease progression and therapy efficacy. M...
