BACKGROUND: MR-based methods for attenuation correction (AC) in PET/MRI either neglect attenuation of bone, or use MR-signal derived information about bone, which leads to a bias in quantification of tracer uptake in PET. In a previous study, we pres...
BACKGROUND: We evaluated the accuracy, safety, and feasibility of a computed tomography (CT)-guided robotic assistance system for percutaneous needle placement in the kidney.

The problem of data truncation in Computed Tomography (CT) is caused by the missing data when the patient exceeds the Scan Field of View (SFOV) of a CT scanner. The reconstruction of a truncated scan produces severe truncation artifacts both inside a...
PURPOSE: The time-of-flight (TOF) information improves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Existing analytical algorithms for TOF PET usually follow a filtered back-projection process on reconstructing images f...
Compton imaging represents a promising technique for range verification in proton therapy treatments. In this work, we report on the advantageous aspects of the i-TED detector for proton-range monitoring, based on the results of the first Monte Carlo...
OBJECTIVES: To compare image quality of deep learning reconstruction (AiCE) for radiomics feature extraction with filtered back projection (FBP), hybrid iterative reconstruction (AIDR 3D), and model-based iterative reconstruction (FIRST).
Micro cone-beam computed tomography (µCBCT) imaging is of utmost importance for carrying out extensive preclinical research in rodents. The imaging of animals is an essential step prior to preclinical precision irradiation, but also in the longitudin...
BACKGROUND: This paper describes the development of a predicted electronic portal imaging device (EPID) transmission image (TI) using Monte Carlo (MC) and deep learning (DL). The measured and predicted TI were compared for two-dimensional in vivo rad...
PURPOSE: The purpose of the challenge is to find the deep-learning (DL) technique for sparse-view computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction that can yield the minimum root mean square error (RMSE) under ideal conditions, thereby addressing the qu...
Although deep learning for application in positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction has attracted the attention of researchers, the image quality must be further improved. In this study, we propose a novel convolutional neural network (...
