Myocardial perfusion (MP) PET imaging plays a key role in risk assessment and stratification of patients with coronary artery disease. In this work, we proposed a patch-based artificial neural network (ANN) fusion approach that integrates information...
Radiation therapy is a pivotal cancer treatment that has significantly progressed over the last decade due to numerous technological breakthroughs. Imaging is now playing a critical role on deployment of the clinical workflow, both for treatment plan...

PURPOSE: Multiparametric positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a one-stop shop for radiation therapy (RT) planning has great potential but is technically challenging. We studied the feasibility of performing multipara...
Background Cerebrovascular reserve (CVR) may be measured by using an acetazolamide test to clinically evaluate patients with cerebrovascular disease. However, acetazolamide use may be contraindicated and/or undesirable in certain clinical settings. P...
To investigate deep learning electrical properties tomography (EPT) for application on different simulated and in-vivo datasets, including pathologies for brain conductivity reconstructions, 3D patch-based convolutional neural networks were trained t...
Positron emission tomography (PET) is an ill-posed inverse problem and suffers high noise due to limited number of detected events. Prior information can be used to improve the quality of reconstructed PET images. Deep neural networks have also been ...
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is useful in cardiovascular disease across several areas, from assessment of myocardial perfusion and viability, to highlighting atherosclerotic plaque activity and measuring the extent of cardiac innervatio...
