High quality imaging from sparsely sampled computed tomography data with deep learning and wavelet transform in various domains.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Sparsely sampled computed tomography (CT) has been attracting attention as a technique that can reduce the high radiation dose of conventional CT. In general, iterative reconstruction techniques have been applied to sparsely sampled CT to re...

A feasibility study on an automated method to generate patient-specific dose distributions for radiotherapy using deep learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop a method for predicting optimal dose distributions, given the planning image and segmented anatomy, by applying deep learning techniques to a database of previously optimized and approved Intensity-modulated radiation therapy trea...

Deep learning in medical imaging and radiation therapy.

Medical physics
The goals of this review paper on deep learning (DL) in medical imaging and radiation therapy are to (a) summarize what has been achieved to date; (b) identify common and unique challenges, and strategies that researchers have taken to address these ...

Multiregion segmentation of bladder cancer structures in MRI with progressive dilated convolutional networks.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Precise segmentation of bladder walls and tumor regions is an essential step toward noninvasive identification of tumor stage and grade, which is critical for treatment decision and prognosis of patients with bladder cancer (BC). However, th...

A machine learning texture model for classifying lung cancer subtypes using preliminary bronchoscopic findings.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Bronchoscopy is useful in lung cancer detection, but cannot be used to differentiate cancer types. A computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system was proposed to distinguish malignant cancer types to achieve objective diagnoses.

Statistical learning in computed tomography image estimation.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: There is increasing interest in computed tomography (CT) image estimations from magnetic resonance (MR) images. The estimated CT images can be utilized for attenuation correction, patient positioning, and dose planning in diagnostic and radi...

CT sinogram-consistency learning for metal-induced beam hardening correction.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: This paper proposes a sinogram-consistency learning method to deal with beam hardening-related artifacts in polychromatic computerized tomography (CT). The presence of highly attenuating materials in the scan field causes an inconsistent sin...

A novel MRI segmentation method using CNN-based correction network for MRI-guided adaptive radiotherapy.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to expedite the contouring process for MRI-guided adaptive radiotherapy (MR-IGART), a convolutional neural network (CNN) deep-learning (DL) model is proposed to accurately segment the liver, kidneys, stomach, bo...

Feasibility of photon beam profile deconvolution using a neural network.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Ionization chambers are the detectors of choice for photon beam profile scanning. However, they introduce significant volume averaging effect (VAE) that can artificially broaden the penumbra width by 2-3 mm. The purpose of this study was to ...

ScatterNet: A convolutional neural network for cone-beam CT intensity correction.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To demonstrate a proof-of-concept for fast cone-beam CT (CBCT) intensity correction in projection space by the use of deep learning.
