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.
PURPOSE: To train and validate machine learning-derived clinical decision algorithm (CDA) for the diagnosis of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands using preoperative variables to facilitate surgical planning.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
