Simulation study on 3D convolutional neural networks for time-of-flight prediction in monolithic PET detectors using digitized waveforms.

Physics in medicine and biology
We investigate the use of 3D convolutional neural networks for gamma arrival time estimation in monolithic scintillation detectors.The required data is obtained by Monte Carlo simulation in GATE v8.2, based on a 50 × 50 × 16 mmmonolithic LYSO crystal...

Deep learning-based in vivo dose verification from proton-induced secondary-electron-bremsstrahlung images with various count level.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: Proton-induced secondary-electron-bremsstrahlung (SEB) imaging is a promising method for estimating the ranges of particle beam. However, SEB images do not directly represent dose distributions of particle beams. In addition, the ranges esti...

Learning Efficient, Collective Monte Carlo Moves with Variational Autoencoders.

Journal of chemical theory and computation
Discovering meaningful collective variables for enhancing sampling, via applied biasing potentials or tailored MC move sets, remains a major challenge within molecular simulation. While recent studies identifying collective variables with variational...

Millisecond speed deep learning based proton dose calculation with Monte Carlo accuracy.

Physics in medicine and biology
Next generation online and real-time adaptive radiotherapy workflows require precise particle transport simulations in sub-second times, which is unfeasible with current analytical pencil beam algorithms (PBA) or Monte Carlo (MC) methods. We present ...

A Hybrid Approach for Approximating the Ideal Observer for Joint Signal Detection and Estimation Tasks by Use of Supervised Learning and Markov-Chain Monte Carlo Methods.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
The ideal observer (IO) sets an upper performance limit among all observers and has been advocated for assessing and optimizing imaging systems. For general joint detection and estimation (detection-estimation) tasks, estimation ROC (EROC) analysis h...

Waiting for baseline stability in single-case designs: Is it worth the time and effort?

Behavior research methods
Researchers and practitioners often use single-case designs (SCDs), or n-of-1 trials, to develop and validate novel treatments. Standards and guidelines have been published to provide guidance as to how to implement SCDs, but many of their recommenda...

Magnetic resonance in medicine
PURPOSE: To develop a Bayesian convolutional neural network (BCNN) with Monte Carlo dropout sampling for metabolite quantification with simultaneous uncertainty estimation in deep learning-based proton MRS of the brain.

Phase function estimation from a diffuse optical image via deep learning.

Physics in medicine and biology
The phase function is a key element of a light propagation model for Monte Carlo (MC) simulation, which is usually fitted with an analytic function with associated parameters. In recent years, machine learning methods were reported to estimate the pa...

Learning-based occupational x-ray scatter estimation.

Physics in medicine and biology
During x-ray-guided interventional procedures, the medical staff is exposed to scattered ionizing radiation caused by the patient. To increase the staff's awareness of the invisible radiation and monitor dose online, computational scatter estimation ...

A Hamiltonian Monte Carlo Method for Probabilistic Adversarial Attack and Learning.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
Although deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated remarkable performance on multiple computer vision tasks, researches on adversarial learning have shown that deep models are vulnerable to adversarial examples, which are crafted by...
