H-scan trajectories indicate the progression of specific diseases.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The ability of ultrasound to assess pathology is increasing with the development of quantitative parameters. Among these are a set of parameters derived from the recent H-scan analysis of subresolvable scattering. The emergence of these quan...

Generation of synthetic PET images of synaptic density and amyloid from F-FDG images using deep learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with various tracers is increasingly used in Alzheimer's disease (AD) studies. However, access to PET scans using new or less-available tracers with sophisticated synthesis and short half-life isoto...

Recognition of honeycomb lung in CT images based on improved MobileNet model.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The research is to improve the efficiency and accuracy of recognition of honeycomb lung in CT images.

Detecting lumbar lesions in Tc-MDP SPECT by deep learning: Comparison with physicians.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Tc-MDP single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is an established tool for diagnosing lumbar stress, a common cause of low back pain (LBP) in pediatric patients. However, detection of small stress lesions is complicated by the low...

Using neural networks to extend cropped medical images for deformable registration among images with differing scan extents.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Missing or discrepant imaging volume is a common challenge in deformable image registration (DIR). To minimize the adverse impact, we train a neural network to synthesize cropped portions of head and neck CT's and then test its use in DIR.

A feasibility study on deep learning-based individualized 3D dose distribution prediction.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Radiation therapy treatment planning is a trial-and-error, often time-consuming process. An approximately optimal dose distribution corresponding to a specific patient's anatomy can be predicted by using pre-trained deep learning (DL) models...

DCANet: Dual contextual affinity network for mass segmentation in whole mammograms.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Breast mass segmentation in mammograms remains a crucial yet challenging topic in computer-aided diagnosis systems. Existing algorithms mainly used mass-centered patches to achieve mass segmentation, which is time-consuming and unstable in c...

FDRN: A fast deformable registration network for medical images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Deformable image registration is a fundamental task in medical imaging. Due to the large computational complexity of deformable registration of volumetric images, conventional iterative methods usually face the tradeoff between the registrat...

Development of attenuation correction methods using deep learning in brain-perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Computed tomography (CT)-based attenuation correction (CTAC) in single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is highly accurate, but it requires hybrid SPECT/CT instruments and additional radiation exposure. To obtain attenuation corre...

Technical Note: Dose prediction for head and neck radiotherapy using a three-dimensional dense dilated U-net architecture.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Radiation therapy treatment planning is a time-consuming and iterative manual process. Consequently, plan quality varies greatly between and within institutions. Artificial intelligence shows great promise in improving plan quality and reduc...
