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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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) ...
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...
BACKGROUND: Two deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) techniques from two different computed tomography (CT) vendors have recently been introduced into clinical practice.
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...
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...
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 ...
