PURPOSE: Flexible needle has the potential to accurately navigate to a treatment region in the least invasive manner. We propose a new planning method using Markov decision processes (MDPs) for flexible needle navigation that can perform robust path ...
In pathology, Immunohistochemical staining (IHC) of tissue sections is regularly used to diagnose and grade malignant tumors. Typically, IHC stain interpretation is rendered by a trained pathologist using a manual method, which consists of counting e...
The mathematical problem for electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a highly nonlinear ill-posed inverse problem requiring carefully designed reconstruction procedures to ensure reliable image generation. D-bar methods are based on a rigorous mathe...
Increasing the image quality of positron emission tomography (PET) is an essential topic in the PET community. For instance, thin-pixelated crystals have been used to provide high spatial resolution images but at the cost of sensitivity and manufactu...
PURPOSE: An end-to-end deep convolutional neural network (CNN) based on deep residual network (ResNet) was proposed to efficiently reconstruct reliable T mapping from single-shot overlapping-echo detachment (OLED) planar imaging.

PURPOSE: Endovascular intervention is limited by two-dimensional intraoperative imaging and prolonged procedure times in the presence of complex anatomies. Robotic catheter technology could offer benefits such as reduced radiation exposure to the cli...
PURPOSE: To develop a super-resolution technique using convolutional neural networks for generating thin-slice knee MR images from thicker input slices, and compare this method with alternative through-plane interpolation methods.
PURPOSE: To obviate online slice-by-slice RF shim optimization and reduce B1+ mapping requirements for patient-specific RF shimming in high-field magnetic resonance imaging.
PURPOSE: Clinical treatment planning systems for proton therapy currently do not calculate monitor units (MUs) in passive scatter proton therapy due to the complexity of the beam delivery systems. Physical phantom measurements are commonly employed t...
