Cone-beam scanners (CBCT) enable CT to be performed under weight-bearing - notably for the foot and ankle. The technology is not new: it has been used since 1996 in dental surgery, where it has come to replace panoramic X-ray. What is new is placing ...
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)- and magnetic resonance (MR)-images allow a daily observation of patient anatomy but are not directly suited for accurate proton dose calculations. This can be overcome by creating synthetic CTs (sCT) using deep c...
Computerized registration between maxillofacial cone-beam computed tomography (CT) images and a scanned dental model is an essential prerequisite for surgical planning for dental implants or orthognathic surgery. We propose a novel method that perfor...
Acute esophagitis (AE) occurs among a significant number of patients with locally advanced lung cancer treated with radiotherapy. Early prediction of AE, indicated by esophageal wall expansion, is critical, as it can facilitate the redesign of treatm...
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a positioning method with hand-guiding and contact position feedback of robot based on a human-robot collaborative dental implant system (HRCDIS) for robotic guided dental implant surg...
The purpose of this study is implementation of an anthropomorphic model observer using a convolutional neural network (CNN) for signal-known-statistically (SKS) and background-known-statistically (BKS) detection tasks. We conduct SKS/BKS detection ta...

OBJECTIVES: To develop an automatic segmentation method to segment the pulp chamber of first molars from 3D cone-beam-computed tomography (CBCT) images, and to estimate ages by calculated pulp volumes.
Conebeam CT using a circular trajectory is quite often used for various applications due to its relative simple geometry. For conebeam geometry, Feldkamp, Davis and Kress algorithm is regarded as the standard reconstruction method, but this algorithm...
PURPOSE: Four-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography (4D CBCT) imaging has been suggested as a solution to account for interfraction motion variability of moving targets like lung and liver during radiotherapy (RT) of moving targets. However, due ...
Four-dimensional (4D) cone-beam CT (CBCT) reconstructs temporally-resolved phases of 3D volumes often with the same amount of projection data that are meant for reconstructing a single 3D volume. 4D CBCT is a sparse-data problem that is very challeng...
