PURPOSE: Imaging of the secondary electron bremsstrahlung (SEB) x rays emitted during particle-ion irradiation is a promising method for beam range estimation. However, the SEB x-ray images are not directly correlated to the dose images. In addition,...
PURPOSE: Urinary particles are particularly important parameters in clinical urinalysis, especially for the diagnosis of nephropathy. Therefore, it is highly important to precisely detect urinary particles in the clinical setting. However, artificial...
PURPOSE: An indoor, real-time location system (RTLS) can benefit both hospitals and patients by improving clinical efficiency through data-driven optimization of procedures. Bluetooth-based RTLS systems are cost-effective but lack accuracy because Bl...
PURPOSE: Sparse-data computed tomography (CT) frequently occurs, such as breast tomosynthesis, C-arm CT, on-board four-dimensional cone-beam CT (4D CBCT), and industrial CT. However, sparse-data image reconstruction remains challenging due to highly ...
PURPOSE: Spatial resolution is an important parameter for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). High-resolution MR images provide detailed information and benefit subsequent image analysis. However, higher resolution MR images come at the expense of long...
PURPOSE: Needle-based procedures for diagnosing and treating prostate cancer, such as biopsy and brachytherapy, have incorporated three-dimensional (3D) transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) imaging to improve needle guidance. Using these images effectively ...
PURPOSE: One technical barrier to patient-specific computed tomography (CT) dosimetry has been the lack of computational tools for the automatic patient-specific multi-organ segmentation of CT images and rapid organ dose quantification. When previous...
PURPOSE: Multiview two-dimensional (2D) convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and three-dimensional (3D) CNNs have been successfully used for analyzing volumetric data in many state-of-the-art medical imaging applications. We propose an alternative mo...
PURPOSE: Adenoid hypertrophy is a pathological hyperplasia of adenoids and may cause snoring, apnea, and impede breathing during sleep. In clinical practice, radiologists diagnose the severity of adenoid hypertrophy by measuring the ratio of adenoid ...
PURPOSE: In this paper, for the purpose of accurate and efficient mass detection, we propose a new deep learning framework, including two major stages: Suspicious region localization (SRL) and Multicontext Multitask Learning (MCMTL).
