PURPOSE: Registration of 3-dimensional ultrasound images poses a challenge for ultrasound-guided radiation therapy of the prostate since ultrasound image content changes significantly with anatomic motion and ultrasound probe position. The purpose of...
A species of neural network first described in 2015 can be trained to translate between images of the same field of view acquired by different modalities. Trained networks can use information inherent in grayscale images of cells to predict fluoresce...
Recently released large-scale neuron morphological data has greatly facilitated the research in neuroinformatics. However, the sheer volume and complexity of these data pose significant challenges for efficient and accurate neuron exploration. In thi...

Automated segmentation of the spleen in CT volumes is difficult due to variations in size, shape, and position of the spleen within the abdominal cavity as well as similarity of intensity values among organs in the abdominal cavity. In this paper we ...
Tomographic phase microscopy (TPM) is a unique imaging modality to measure the three-dimensional refractive index distribution of transparent and semitransparent samples. However, the requirement of the dense sampling in a large range of incident ang...
Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has attracted major attention in the medical imaging field, since CT-associated X-ray radiation carries health risks for patients. The reduction of the CT radiation dose, however, compromises the signal-to-noise ra...
