BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Permanent seed brachytherapy is an established treatment option for localized prostate cancer. Currently, post-implant dosimetry is performed on CT images despite challenging target delineation due to limited soft tissue contr...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was the evaluation of anthropomorphic model observers trained with neural networks for the prediction of a human observer's performance.

PURPOSE: This paper presents new quantitative data on a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) study, distortion study, and targeting accuracy phantom study for our patient-mounted robot (called Arthrobot). Arthrobot was developed as an MRI-guided needle placem...
We focus on the practical challenge of segmenting new retinal fundus images that are dissimilar to existing well-annotated data sets. It is addressed in this paper by a supervised learning pipeline, with its core being the construction of a synthetic...
The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential of k-means clustering to efficiently reduce the variety of materials needed in Monte Carlo (MC) dose calculation. A numerical phantom with 31 human tissues surrounded by water is created. K-me...
Undersampled magnetic resonance image (MRI) reconstruction is typically an ill-posed linear inverse task. The time and resource intensive computations require tradeoffs between accuracy and speed. In addition, state-of-the-art compressed sensing (CS)...
Single-shot gradient-echo echo-planar imaging (GE-EPI) plays a significant role in applications where high temporal resolution is necessary. However, GE-EPI is susceptible to inhomogeneous magnetic fields that will cause image distortion. Most existi...
