BACKGROUND: Skeletal muscle segmentation is an important procedure for assessing sarcopenia, an emerging imaging biomarker of patient frailty. Data annotation remains the bottleneck for training deep learning auto-segmentation models.
PURPOSE: Accurately segmenting curvilinear structures, for example, retinal blood vessels or nerve fibers, in the medical image is essential to the clinical diagnosis of many diseases. Recently, deep learning has become a popular technology to deal w...
PURPOSE: This study aims to develop a deep learning method that skips the time-consuming inverse optimization process for automatic generation of machine-deliverable intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans.
BACKGROUND: Automated catheter localization for ultrasound guided high-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy faces challenges relating to imaging noise and artifacts. To date, catheter reconstruction during the clinical procedure is performed manually. De...
PURPOSE: Early detection and size quantification of renal calculi are important for optimizing treatment and preventing severe kidney stone disease. Prior work has shown that volumetric measurements of kidney stones are more informative and reproduci...
BACKGROUND: The automatic recognition of human body parts in three-dimensional medical images is important in many clinical applications. However, methods presented in prior studies have mainly classified each two-dimensional (2D) slice independently...
BACKGROUND: Radiation treatment is considered an effective and the most common treatment option for prostate cancer. The treatment planning process requires accurate and precise segmentation of the prostate and organs at risk (OARs), which is laborio...
PURPOSE: The time-of-flight (TOF) information improves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Existing analytical algorithms for TOF PET usually follow a filtered back-projection process on reconstructing images f...
PURPOSE: The purpose of the challenge is to find the deep-learning (DL) technique for sparse-view computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction that can yield the minimum root mean square error (RMSE) under ideal conditions, thereby addressing the qu...
PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is the gold standard in image-guided brachytherapy (IGBT) due to its superior soft-tissue contrast for target and organs-at-risk (OARs) delineation. Accurate and fast segmentation of MR images are very importa...
