Accurate segmentation of the prostate and organs at risk (e.g., bladder and rectum) in CT images is a crucial step for radiation therapy in the treatment of prostate cancer. However, it is a very challenging task due to unclear boundaries, large intr...
PURPOSE: Automatic segmentation of organs-at-risk (OARs) is a key step in radiation treatment planning to reduce human efforts and bias. Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) have shown great success in many medical image segmentation application...
For sparse sampling that accelerates magnetic resonance (MR) image acquisition, non-linear reconstruction algorithms have been developed, which incorporated patient specific a prior information. More generic a prior information could be acquired via ...

PURPOSE: Ultrasound (US) provides real-time, two-/three-dimensional safe imaging. Due to these capabilities, it is considered a safe alternative to intra-operative fluoroscopy in various computer-assisted orthopedic surgery (CAOS) procedures. However...
The health and function of tissue rely on its vasculature network to provide reliable blood perfusion. Volumetric imaging approaches, such as multiphoton microscopy, are able to generate detailed 3D images of blood vessels that could contribute to ou...

PURPOSE: In radiation therapy, a key step for a successful cancer treatment is image-based treatment planning. One objective of the planning phase is the fast and accurate segmentation of organs at risk and target structures from medical images. Howe...
PURPOSE: A retrospective pilot study is conducted to demonstrate the utility of a novel support vector machine learning (SVML) algorithm in a small three-dimensional (3D) sample yielding sparse optical coherence tomography (spOCT) data for the automa...

A varying oxygen environment is known to affect cellular function in disease as well as activity of various therapeutics. For transient structures, whether they are unconstrained therapeutic transplants, migrating cells during tumor metastasis, or ce...
PURPOSE: To determine the feasibility of employing the prior knowledge of well-separated chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) signals in the 9.4 T Z-spectrum to separate overlapping CEST signals acquired at 3 T, using a deep learning approach...
