. Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) imaging is widely used for assessing acute ischemic stroke. However, conventional methods for quantifying CTP images, such as singular value decomposition (SVD), often lead to oscillations in the estimated residu...
BACKGROUND: Several scores have been developed to stratify the risk of graft loss in controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD). However, their performance is unsatisfactory in the Spanish population, where most cDCD livers are recovered usin...
BACKGROUND: Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is a critical strategy to rehabilitate marginal donor lungs, thereby increasing lung transplantation (LTx) rates. Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury inevitably occurs during LTx. Exploring the common mechanism...
Noninvasive differential diagnosis of brain tumors is currently based on the assessment of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) coupled with dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC). However, a definitive diagnosis often requires neurosurgical interventions...
PURPOSE: We aimed to develop deep learning (DL)-based attenuation correction models for Tl-201 myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) images and evaluate their clinical feasibility.
OBJECTIVE: This research seeks to shed light on the associations between brain perfusion, cognitive function, and mental health in individuals with and without obesity.
Accurate segmentation of renal tissues is an essential step for renal perfusion estimation and postoperative assessment of the allograft. Images are usually manually labeled, which is tedious and prone to human error. We present an image analysis met...
BACKGROUND: Respiratory motion induces artifacts in reconstructed cardiac perfusion SPECT images. Correction for respiratory motion often relies on a respiratory signal describing the heart displacements during breathing. However, using external trac...
OBJECTIVE: The image quality of myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) is critical for precise myocardial perfusion evaluation but challenging for echocardiographers. Differences in quality may lead to diagnostic heterogeneity. This study was aim...
BACKGROUND: The main application of [18F] FDG-PET ( FDG-PET) and CT images in oncology is tumor identification and quantification. Combining PET and CT images to mine pulmonary perfusion information for functional lung avoidance radiation therapy (FL...
