PURPOSE: Early detection of carotid atherosclerosis on the vessel wall (VW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (VW-MRI) images can prevent the progression of cardiovascular disease. However, the manual inspection process of the VW-MRI images is cumbers...
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S): Online proton range/dose verification based on measurements of proton-induced positron emitters is a promising strategy for quality assurance in proton therapy. Because of the nonlinear correlation between the dose distribution ...
PURPOSE: To develop a head and neck normal structures autocontouring tool that could be used to automatically detect the errors in autocontours from a clinically validated autocontouring tool.
PURPOSE: Deep neural network-based image reconstruction has demonstrated promising performance in medical imaging for undersampled and low-dose scenarios. However, it requires large amount of memory and extensive time for the training. It is especial...
PURPOSE: Positron emission tomography (PET) is an important tool for nuclear medical imaging. It has been widely used in clinical diagnosis, scientific research, and drug testing. PET is a kind of emission computed tomography. Its basic imaging princ...
PURPOSE: In order to attain anatomical models, surgical guides and implants for computer-assisted surgery, accurate segmentation of bony structures in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans is required. However, this image segmentation step is of...
PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) methods typically rely on dictionary matching to map the temporal MRF signals to quantitative tissue parameters. Such approaches suffer from inherent discretization errors, as well as high computationa...
PURPOSE: As affordable equipment, electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs) are wildly used in radiation therapy departments to verify patients' positions for accurate radiotherapy. However, these devices tend to produce visually ambiguous and low-co...
PURPOSE: To predict the spatial and temporal trajectories of lung tumor during radiotherapy monitored under a longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study via a deep learning algorithm for facilitating adaptive radiotherapy (ART).
PURPOSE: Radiation doses accumulated during very complicated image-guided x-ray procedures have the potential to cause stochastic, but also deterministic effects, such as skin rashes or even hair loss. To monitor and reduce radiation-related risks to...
