Self-contained deep learning-based boosting of 4D cone-beam CT reconstruction.

Medical physics
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 ...

4D-AirNet: a temporally-resolved CBCT slice reconstruction method synergizing analytical and iterative method with deep learning.

Physics in medicine and biology
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...

AirNet: Fused analytical and iterative reconstruction with deep neural network regularization for sparse-data CT.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Sparse-data computed tomography (CT) frequently occurs, such as breast tomosynthesis, C-arm CT, on-board four-dimensional cone-beam CT (4D CBCT), and industrial CT. However, sparse-data image reconstruction remains challenging due to highly ...

4D-CT deformable image registration using multiscale unsupervised deep learning.

Physics in medicine and biology
Deformable image registration (DIR) of 4D-CT images is important in multiple radiation therapy applications including motion tracking of soft tissue or fiducial markers, target definition, image fusion, dose accumulation and treatment response evalua...

Development of realistic multi-contrast textured XCAT (MT-XCAT) phantoms using a dual-discriminator conditional-generative adversarial network (D-CGAN).

Physics in medicine and biology
Develop a machine learning-based method to generate multi-contrast anatomical textures in the 4D extended cardiac-torso (XCAT) phantom for more realistic imaging simulations. As a pilot study, we synthesize CT and CBCT textures in the chest region. F...

Real-time markerless tumour tracking with patient-specific deep learning using a personalised data generation strategy: proof of concept by phantom study.

The British journal of radiology
OBJECTIVE: For real-time markerless tumour tracking in stereotactic lung radiotherapy, we propose a different approach which uses patient-specific deep learning (DL) using a personalised data generation strategy, avoiding the need for collection of a...

LungRegNet: An unsupervised deformable image registration method for 4D-CT lung.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop an accurate and fast deformable image registration (DIR) method for four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) lung images. Deep learning-based methods have the potential to quickly predict the deformation vector field (DVF) in ...

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to develop a deep learning (DL) method for producing four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) ventilation imaging and to evaluate the accuracy of the DL-based ventilation imaging against single-photon emission...

A multi-scale framework with unsupervised joint training of convolutional neural networks for pulmonary deformable image registration.

Physics in medicine and biology
To achieve accurate and fast deformable image registration (DIR) for pulmonary CT, we proposed a Multi-scale DIR framework with unsupervised Joint training of Convolutional Neural Network (MJ-CNN). MJ-CNN contains three models at multi-scale levels f...
