OBJECTIVE: Long-axial field-of-view (LAFOV) positron emission tomography (PET) systems allow higher sensitivity, with an increased number of detected lines of response induced by a larger angle of acceptance. However this extended angle increases the...
The striatum, a crucial part of the basal ganglia, plays a key role in various brain functions through its interactions with the cortex. The complex structural and functional diversity across subdivisions within the striatum highlights the necessity ...
Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) is a promising technique for fast quantitative imaging of multiple tissue parameters. However, the highly undersampled schemes utilized in MRF typically lead to noticeable aliasing artifacts in reconstructed im...
Accurately and early diagnosis of melanoma is one of the challenging tasks due to its unique characteristics and different shapes of skin lesions. So, in order to solve this issue, the current study examines various deep learning-based approaches and...
