4DCT image artifact detection using deep learning.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) is an es sential tool in radiation therapy. However, the 4D acquisition process may cause motion artifacts which can obscure anatomy and distort functional measurements from CT scans.

A cross-attention-based deep learning approach for predicting functional stroke outcomes using 4D CTP imaging and clinical metadata.

Medical image analysis
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a global health challenge, leading to long-term functional disabilities without timely intervention. Spatio-temporal (4D) Computed Tomography Perfusion (CTP) imaging is crucial for diagnosing and treating AIS due t...

A deep learning model for translating CT to ventilation imaging: analysis of accuracy and impact on functional avoidance radiotherapy planning.

Japanese journal of radiology
PURPOSE: Radiotherapy planning incorporating functional lung images has the potential to reduce pulmonary toxicity. Free-breathing 4DCT-derived ventilation image (CTVI) may help quantify lung function. This study introduces a novel deep-learning mode...

Benchmarking machine learning-based real-time respiratory signal predictors in 4D SBRT.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Stereotactic body radiotherapy of thoracic and abdominal tumors has to account for respiratory intrafractional tumor motion. Commonly, an external breathing signal is continuously acquired that serves as a surrogate of the tumor motion an...

Deep learning-based target decomposition for markerless lung tumor tracking in radiotherapy.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: In radiotherapy, real-time tumor tracking can verify tumor position during beam delivery, guide the radiation beam to target the tumor, and reduce the chance of a geometric miss. Markerless kV x-ray image-based tumor tracking is challengi...

Deep learning-based conditional inpainting for restoration of artifact-affected 4D CT images.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: 4D CT imaging is an essential component of radiotherapy of thoracic and abdominal tumors. 4D CT images are, however, often affected by artifacts that compromise treatment planning quality and image information reliability.

Deep learning based automatic internal gross target volume delineation from 4D-CT of hepatocellular carcinoma patients.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: The location and morphology of the liver are significantly affected by respiratory motion. Therefore, delineating the gross target volume (GTV) based on 4D medical images is more accurate than regular 3D-CT with contrast. However, the 4D ...

Automatic segmentation and labelling of wrist bones in four-dimensional computed tomography datasets via deep learning.

The Journal of hand surgery, European volume
This study developed a deep learning model for fully automatic segmentation and labelling of wrist bones from four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) scans. This is a crucial step towards implementing 4DCT for diagnosing wrist ligament lesions, r...

Deep learning for collateral evaluation in ischemic stroke with imbalanced data.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Collateral evaluation is typically done using visual inspection of cerebral images and thus suffers from intra- and inter-rater variability. Large open databases of ischemic stroke patients are rare, limiting the use of deep learning methods...
