PURPOSE: One technical barrier to patient-specific computed tomography (CT) dosimetry has been the lack of computational tools for the automatic patient-specific multi-organ segmentation of CT images and rapid organ dose quantification. When previous...
Currently methods for predicting absorbed dose after administering a radiopharmaceutical are rather crude in daily clinical practice. Most importantly, individual tissue density distributions as well as local variations of the concentration of the ra...

PURPOSE: In proton therapy, imaging prompt gamma (PG) rays has the potential to verify proton dose (PD) distribution. Despite the fact that there is a strong correlation between the gamma-ray emission and PD, they are still different in terms of the ...
Cerenkov luminescence tomography (CLT) has been proved as an effective tool for various biomedical applications. Because of the severe scattering of Cerenkov luminescence, the performance of CLT remains unsatisfied. This paper proposed a novel CLT re...
PET scanners with partial-ring geometry have been proposed for various imaging purposes. The incomplete projection data obtained from this design cause undesirable artifacts in the reconstructed images. In this study, we investigated the performance ...
