A novel adaptive cubic quasi-Newton optimizer for deep learning based medical image analysis tasks, validated on detection of COVID-19 and segmentation for COVID-19 lung infection, liver tumor, and optic disc/cup.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Most of existing deep learning research in medical image analysis is focused on networks with stronger performance. These networks have achieved success, while their architectures are complex and even contain massive parameters ranging fr...

An uncertainty-aware deep learning architecture with outlier mitigation for prostate gland segmentation in radiotherapy treatment planning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Task automation is essential for efficient and consistent image segmentation in radiation oncology. We report on a deep learning architecture, comprising a U-Net and a variational autoencoder (VAE) for automatic contouring of the prostate gl...

DuDoSS: Deep-learning-based dual-domain sinogram synthesis from sparsely sampled projections of cardiac SPECT.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using single-photon emission-computed tomography (SPECT) is widely applied for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. In clinical practice, the long scanning procedures and acquisition time might induce ...

Auto-segmentation of important centers of growth in the pediatric skeleton to consider during radiation therapy based on deep learning.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Routinely delineating of important skeletal growth centers is imperative to mitigate radiation-induced growth abnormalities for pediatric cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. However, it is hindered by several practical problems, in...

Deterministic small-scale undulations of image-based risk predictions from the deep learning of lung tumors in motion.

Medical physics
INTRODUCTION: Deep learning (DL) models that use medical images to predict clinical outcomes are poised for clinical translation. For tumors that reside in organs that move, however, the impact of motion (i.e., degenerated object appearance or blur) ...

Technical note: Rapid and high-resolution deep learning-based radiopharmaceutical imaging with 3D-CZT Compton camera and sparse projection data.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: The Compton camera (CC) has great potential in nuclear medicine imaging due to the high detection efficiency and the ability to simultaneously detect multi-energy radioactive sources. However, the finite resolution of the detectors will d...

Automated segmentation of five different body tissues on computed tomography using deep learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop and validate a computer tool for automatic and simultaneous segmentation of five body tissues depicted on computed tomography (CT) scans: visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), intermuscular adipose tiss...

Deep learning-based segmentation in prostate radiation therapy using Monte Carlo simulated cone-beam computed tomography.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Segmenting organs in cone-beam CT (CBCT) images would allow to adapt the radiotherapy based on the organ deformations that may occur between treatment fractions. However, this is a difficult task because of the relative lack of contrast in C...

Artificial intelligence in multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging: A review.

Medical physics
Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is an indispensable tool in the clinical workflow for the diagnosis and treatment planning of various diseases. Machine learning-based artificial intelligence (AI) methods, especially those adopting ...
