Framework for dual-energy-like chest radiography image synthesis from single-energy computed tomography based on cycle-consistent generative adversarial network.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Dual-energy (DE) chest radiography (CXR) enables the selective imaging of two relevant materials, namely, soft tissue and bone structures, to better characterize various chest pathologies (i.e., lung nodule, bony lesions, etc.) and potent...

Deep learning-based dominant index lesion segmentation for MR-guided radiation therapy of prostate cancer.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Dose escalation radiotherapy enables increased control of prostate cancer (PCa) but requires segmentation of dominant index lesions (DIL). This motivates the development of automated methods for fast, accurate, and consistent segmentation...

Deep learning-based decision forest for hereditary clear cell renal cell carcinoma segmentation on MRI.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL) is an autosomal dominant hereditary syndrome with an increased predisposition of developing numerous cysts and tumors, almost exclusively clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Considering the lifelong s...

Unpaired low-dose computed tomography image denoising using a progressive cyclical convolutional neural network.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Reducing the radiation dose from computed tomography (CT) can significantly reduce the radiation risk to patients. However, low-dose CT (LDCT) suffers from severe and complex noise interference that affects subsequent diagnosis and analys...

BUS-Set: A benchmark for quantitative evaluation of breast ultrasound segmentation networks with public datasets.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: BUS-Set is a reproducible benchmark for breast ultrasound (BUS) lesion segmentation, comprising of publicly available images with the aim of improving future comparisons between machine learning models within the field of BUS.

Contouring quality assurance methodology based on multiple geometric features against deep learning auto-segmentation.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Contouring error is one of the top failure modes in radiation treatment. Multiple efforts have been made to develop tools to automatically detect segmentation errors. Deep learning-based auto-segmentation (DLAS) has been used as a baselin...

Spatial resolution, noise properties, and detectability index of a deep learning reconstruction algorithm for dual-energy CT of the abdomen.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Iterative reconstruction (IR) has increasingly replaced traditional reconstruction methods in computed tomography (CT). The next paradigm shift in image reconstruction is likely to come from artificial intelligence, with deep learning rec...

Technical note: Progressive deep learning: An accelerated training strategy for medical image segmentation.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Recent advancements in Deep Learning (DL) methodologies have led to state-of-the-art performance in a wide range of applications especially in object recognition, classification, and segmentation of medical images. However, training moder...

A comparative study of two automated solutions for cross-sectional skeletal muscle measurement from abdominal computed tomography images.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Measurement of cross-sectional muscle area (CSMA) at the mid third lumbar vertebra (L3) level from computed tomography (CT) images is becoming one of the reference methods for sarcopenia diagnosis. However, manual skeletal muscle segmenta...

Segmentation of multiple Organs-at-Risk associated with brain tumors based on coarse-to-fine stratified networks.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Delineation of Organs-at-Risks (OARs) is an important step in radiotherapy treatment planning. As manual delineation is time-consuming, labor-intensive and affected by inter- and intra-observer variability, a robust and efficient automati...
