Acquiring images of the same anatomy with multiple different contrasts increases the diversity of diagnostic information available in an MR exam. Yet, the scan time limitations may prohibit the acquisition of certain contrasts, and some contrasts may...
PURPOSE: To determine the feasibility of employing the prior knowledge of well-separated chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) signals in the 9.4 T Z-spectrum to separate overlapping CEST signals acquired at 3 T, using a deep learning approach...

We present an efficient deep learning approach for the challenging task of tumor segmentation in multisequence MR images. In recent years, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have achieved state-of-the-art performances in a large variety of recogniti...
OBJECTIVE: Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation status is an independent favorable prognostic factor for glioblastoma (GBM) and is usually determined by sequencing or immunohistochemistry. An accurate prediction of IDH1 mutation status via noni...

PURPOSE: Reliable and accurate predictive models are necessary to drive the success of radiomics. Our aim was to identify the optimal radiomics-based machine learning method for isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) genotype prediction in diffuse gliomas.
High-grade gliomas are the most aggressive malignant brain tumors. Accurate pre-operative prognosis for this cohort can lead to better treatment planning. Conventional survival prediction based on clinical information is subjective and could be inacc...
BACKGROUND: Frameless stereotactic biopsies, particularly robot-assisted procedures are increasing in neurosurgery centers. Results of these procedures should be at least equal to or greater than frame-based reference procedure. Evaluate robot-assist...
Due to the exponential growth of computational algorithms, artificial intelligence (AI) methods are poised to improve the precision of diagnostic and therapeutic methods in medicine. The field of radiomics in neuro-oncology has been and will likely c...
PURPOSE: MRSI has shown great promise in the detection and monitoring of neurologic pathologies such as tumor. A necessary component of data processing includes the quantitation of each metabolite, typically done through fitting a model of the spectr...
Deriving accurate attenuation maps for PET/MRI remains a challenging problem because MRI voxel intensities are not related to properties of photon attenuation and bone/air interfaces have similarly low signal. This work presents a learning-based meth...
