UNLABELLED: Steerable needles have the potential for accurate needle tip placement even when the optimal path to a target tissue is curvilinear, thanks to their ability to steer, which is an essential function to avoid piercing through vital anatomic...
SIGNIFICANCE: X-ray Cherenkov-luminescence tomography (XCLT) produces fast emission data from megavoltage (MV) x-ray scanning, in which the excitation location of molecules within tissue is reconstructed. However standard filtered backprojection (FBP...
BACKGROUND: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) plays an increasingly important role in image-guided radiation therapy. However, the image quality of CBCT is severely degraded by excessive scatter contamination, especially in the abdominal region, h...

PURPOSE: Accurate needle placement into the target point is critical for ultrasound interventions like biopsies and epidural injections. However, aligning the needle to the thin plane of the transducer is a challenging issue as it leads to the decay ...
PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate a single-shot quantitative MRI technique called GRE-MOLED (gradient-echo multiple overlapping-echo detachment) for rapid mapping.

This paper presents a method for estimating the x-ray energy spectrum for computed tomography (CT) in the diagnostic energy range from the reconstructed CT image itself. To this end, a virtual CT system was developed, and datasets, including CT image...
Robotic assistance in minimally invasive surgery offers numerous advantages for both patient and surgeon. However, the lack of force feedback in robotic surgery is a major limitation, and accurately estimating tool-tissue interaction forces remains a...
BACKGROUND: Accurate correction of x-ray scatter in dedicated breast computed tomography (bCT) imaging may result in improved visual interpretation and is crucial to achieve quantitative accuracy during image reconstruction and analysis.
