Deep learning-based virtual noncalcium imaging in multiple myeloma using dual-energy CT.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Dual-energy CT with virtual noncalcium (VNCa) images allows the evaluation of focal intramedullary bone marrow involvement in patients with multiple myeloma. However, current commercial VNCa techniques suffer from excessive image noise an...

Deep learning-based 4D-synthetic CTs from sparse-view CBCTs for dose calculations in adaptive proton therapy.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Time-resolved 4D cone beam-computed tomography (4D-CBCT) allows a daily assessment of patient anatomy and respiratory motion. However, 4D-CBCTs suffer from imaging artifacts that affect the CT number accuracy and prevent accurate proton d...

C -GAN: Content-consistent generative adversarial networks for unsupervised domain adaptation in medical image segmentation.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: In clinical practice, medical image analysis has played a key role in disease diagnosis. One of the important steps is to perform an accurate organ or tissue segmentation for assisting medical professionals in making correct diagnoses. Despi...

MSFR-Net: Multi-modality and single-modality feature recalibration network for brain tumor segmentation.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Accurate and automated brain tumor segmentation from multi-modality MR images plays a significant role in tumor treatment. However, the existing approaches mainly focus on the fusion of multi-modality while ignoring the correlation betwee...

Automatic detection of A-line in lung ultrasound images using deep learning and image processing.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Auxiliary diagnosis and monitoring of lung diseases based on lung ultrasound (LUS) images is important clinical research. A-line is one of the most common indicators of LUS that can offer support for the assessment of lung diseases. A tra...
