An end-to-end neural network for 4D cardiac CT reconstruction using single-beat scans.

Physics in medicine and biology
Motion artifacts remain a significant challenge in cardiac CT imaging, often impairing the accurate detection and diagnosis of cardiac diseases. These artifacts result from involuntary cardiac motion, and traditional mitigation methods typically rely...

Smart contours: deep learning-driven internal gross tumor volume delineation in non-small cell lung cancer using 4D CT maximum and average intensity projections.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Delineating the internal gross tumor volume (IGTV) is crucial for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Deep learning (DL) enables the automation of this process; however, current studies focus mainly on multiple phases of ...

Semi-supervised temporal attention network for lung 4D CT ventilation estimation.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Computed tomography (CT)-derived ventilation estimation, also known as CT ventilation imaging (CTVI), is emerging as a potentially crucial tool for designing functional avoidance radiotherapy treatment plans and evaluating therapy responses. However,...

Deep-learning synthetized 4DCT from 4DMRI of the abdominal site in carbon-ion radiotherapy.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: To investigate the feasibility of deep-learning-based synthetic 4DCT (4D-sCT) generation from 4DMRI data of abdominal patients undergoing Carbon Ion Radiotherapy (CIRT).

Preliminary phantom study of four-dimensional computed tomographic angiography for renal artery mapping: Low-tube voltage and low-contrast volume imaging with deep learning-based reconstruction.

Radiography (London, England : 1995)
INTRODUCTION: A hybrid angio-CT system with 320-row detectors and deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR), provides additional imaging via 4D-CT angiography (CTA), potentially shortening procedure time and reducing DSA acquisitions, contrast media, ...

DPI-MoCo: Deep Prior Image Constrained Motion Compensation Reconstruction for 4D CBCT.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
4D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) plays a critical role in adaptive radiation therapy for lung cancer. However, extremely sparse sampling projection data will cause severe streak artifacts in 4D CBCT images. Existing deep learning (DL) methods ...

Validation of patient-specific deep learning markerless lung tumor tracking aided by 4DCBCT.

Physics in medicine and biology
. Tracking tumors with multi-leaf collimators and x-ray imaging can be a cost-effective motion management method to reduce internal target volume margins for lung cancer patients, sparing normal tissues while ensuring target coverage. To realize that...

Perfusion estimation from dynamic non-contrast computed tomography using self-supervised learning and a physics-inspired U-net transformer architecture.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Pulmonary perfusion imaging is a key lung health indicator with clinical utility as a diagnostic and treatment planning tool. However, current nuclear medicine modalities face challenges like low spatial resolution and long acquisition times...

Fast motion-compensated reconstruction for 4D-CBCT using deep learning-based groupwise registration.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
. Previous work has that deep learning (DL)-enhanced 4D cone beam computed tomography (4D-CBCT) images improve motion modeling and subsequent motion-compensated (MoCo) reconstruction for 4D-CBCT. However, building the motion model at treatment time v...

Low dose threshold for measuring cardiac functional metrics using four-dimensional CT with deep learning.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: Four-dimensional CT is increasingly used for functional cardiac imaging, including prognosis for conditions such as heart failure and post myocardial infarction. However, radiation dose from an acquisition spanning the full cardiac cycle ...
