BACKGROUND: X-ray radiography is a widely used imaging technique worldwide, and its image quality directly affects diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, X-ray image quality control (QC) is essential. However, subjectively assessing image quality is ineffic...
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is gaining increasing relevance in medicine, with an innovative application being the intraoperative assessment of the outcome of laser ablation treatment used for minimally invasive tumor removal. However, the high dimens...
Bone segmentation is an important step to perform biomechanical failure load simulations on in-vivo CT data of patients with bone metastasis, as it is a mandatory operation to obtain meshes needed for numerical simulations. Segmentation can be a tedi...
BACKGROUND: Computed tomography (CT) relies on the attenuation of x-rays, and is, hence, of limited use for weakly attenuating organs of the body, such as the lung. X-ray dark-field (DF) imaging is a recently developed technology that utilizes x-ray ...

INTRODUCTION: Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is one of the most commonly ordered cardiac imaging tests. Accurate motion correction, image registration, and reconstruction are critical for high-quality imaging, but this can be technically challeng...
BACKGROUND: Tooth segmentation on intraoral scanned (IOS) data is a prerequisite for clinical applications in digital workflows. Current state-of-the-art methods lack the robustness to handle variability in dental conditions. This study aims to propo...
Fluorescence polarization (Fpol) imaging of methylene blue (MB) is a promising quantitative approach to thyroid cancer detection. Clinical translation of MB Fpol technology requires reduction of the data analysis time that can be achieved via deep le...

BACKGROUND: According to the T1ρ value of nucleus pulposus, our previous study has found that intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) can be divided into three phases based on T1ρ-MR, which is helpful for the selection of biomaterial treatment timing....
BACKGROUND: Lesion detection is one of the most important clinical tasks in positron emission tomography (PET) for oncology. An anthropomorphic model observer (MO) designed to replicate human observers (HOs) in a detection task is an important tool f...
BACKGROUND: Vessel-wall volume and localized three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) metrics are sensitive to the change of carotid atherosclerosis in response to medical/dietary interventions. Manual segmentation of the media-adventitia boundary (MAB) a...
