OBJECTIVE: The study aim was to develop and assess the performance of a deep learning (DL) algorithm in the detection of radiolucent intraosseous jaw lesions in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) volumes.
BACKGROUND: Adaptive proton therapy workflows rely on accurate imaging throughout the treatment course. Our centre currently utilizes weekly repeat CTs (rCTs) for treatment monitoring and plan adaptations. However, deep learning-based methods have re...
Radiotherapy serves as a pivotal treatment modality for malignant tumors. However, the accuracy of radiotherapy is significantly compromised due to respiratory-induced fluctuations in the size, shape, and position of the tumor. To address this challe...
BACKGROUND: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning is used for patient setup in image-guided radiotherapy. However, its inaccurate CT numbers limit its applicability in dose calculation and treatment planning.
Incorporating computed tomography (CT) reconstruction operators into differentiable pipelines has proven beneficial in many applications. Such approaches usually focus on the projection data and keep the acquisition geometry fixed. However, precise k...
The interpretation of the signs of Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is highly subjective that hinders the diagnostic process. The objectives of this study were to develop and test the performance of...
BACKGROUND: The bowtie-filter in cone-beam CT (CBCT) causes spatially nonuniform x-ray beam often leading to eclipse artifacts in the reconstructed image. The artifacts are further confounded by the patient scatter, which is therefore patient-depende...
