A robotic C-arm cone beam CT system for image-guided proton therapy: design and performance.

The British journal of radiology
OBJECTIVE: A ceiling-mounted robotic C-arm cone beam CT (CBCT) system was developed for use with a 190° proton gantry system and a 6-degree-of-freedom robotic patient positioner. We report on the mechanical design, system accuracy, image quality, ima...

Head and Neck Cancer Tumor Segmentation Using Support Vector Machine in Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI.

Contrast media & molecular imaging
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to propose an automatic method based on Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) to segment the tumor lesions of head and neck cancer (HNC).

Unsupervised Segmentation of 5D Hyperpolarized Carbon-13 MRI Data Using a Fuzzy Markov Random Field Model.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Hyperpolarized MRI with C-labelled compounds is an emerging clinical technique allowing in vivo metabolic processes to be characterized non-invasively. Accurate quantification of C data, both for clinical and research purposes, typically relies on th...

Ensemble of expert deep neural networks for spatio-temporal denoising of contrast-enhanced MRI sequences.

Medical image analysis
Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) is an imaging protocol where MRI scans are acquired repetitively throughout the injection of a contrast agent. The analysis of dynamic scans is widely used for the detection and quantification of blood-brain ba...

Gaussian process classification of superparamagnetic relaxometry data: Phantom study.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
MOTIVATION: Superparamagnetic relaxometry (SPMR) is an emerging technology that holds potential for use in early cancer detection. Measurement of the magnetic field after the excitation of cancer-bound superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIO...

DCE-MRI prediction of survival time for patients with glioblastoma multiforme: using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy-based model and nested model selection technique.

NMR in biomedicine
This pilot study investigates the construction of an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for the prediction of the survival time of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). ANFIS is trained by the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters estimat...

Automatic segmentation of liver tumors from multiphase contrast-enhanced CT images based on FCNs.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
This paper presents a novel, fully automatic approach based on a fully convolutional network (FCN) for segmenting liver tumors from CT images. Specifically, we designed a multi-channel fully convolutional network (MC-FCN) to segment liver tumors from...

Autodelineation of cervical cancers using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and machine learning.

Acta oncologica (Stockholm, Sweden)
BACKGROUND: Tumour delineation is a challenging, time-consuming and complex part of radiotherapy planning. In this study, an automatic method for delineating locally advanced cervical cancers was developed using a machine learning approach.
