BACKGROUND: Recently, high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy treatment plans generation was improved with the development of multicriteria optimization (MCO) algorithms that can generate thousands of pareto optimal plans within seconds. This brings a shi...
BACKGROUND: Ultrasound (US) has great potential for application in computer-assisted orthopedic surgery (CAOS) due to its non-radiative, cost-effective, and portable traits. However, bone segmentation from low-quality US images has been challenging. ...
BACKGROUND: Surgical planning for orthognathic procedures demands swift and accurate biomechanical modeling of facial soft tissues. Efficient simulations are vital in the clinical pipeline, as surgeons may iterate through multiple plans. Biomechanica...
BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a crucial technique for both scientific research and clinical diagnosis. However, noise generated during MR data acquisition degrades image quality, particularly in hyperpolarized (HP) gas MRI. While de...
BACKGROUND: The widespread adoption of knowledge-based planning in radiation oncology clinics is hindered by the lack of data and the difficulty associated with sharing medical data.
BACKGROUND: The use of endovascular procedures is becoming increasingly popular across multiple clinical domains. These procedures are generally performed under image guidance using an interventional c-arm x-ray system. Radiation exposure to both pat...
BACKGROUND: Accurate and automatic segmentation of pericardial adipose tissue (PEAT) in cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) images is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Precise segmentation is challenging due to high co...
BACKGROUND: Semi-supervised learning provides an effective means to address the challenge of insufficient labeled data in medical image segmentation tasks. However, when a semi-supervised segmentation model is overfitted and exhibits cognitive bias, ...
BACKGROUND: Self-supervised learning (SSL) is an approach to extract useful feature representations from unlabeled data, and enable fine-tuning on downstream tasks with limited labeled examples. Self-pretraining is a SSL approach that uses curated do...
BACKGROUND: In magnetic resonance image (MRI)-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT), 2D rapid imaging is commonly used to track moving targets with high temporal frequency to minimize gating latency. However, anatomical motion is not constrained to 2D, and a p...
