To improve the quality of MRI-based cerebral blood flow (CBF) measurements, a deep convolutional neural network (dCNN) was trained to combine single- and multi-delay arterial spin labeling (ASL) and structural images to predict gold-standard O-water ...
Predicting the progression of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) has been held back for decades due to the lack of sufficient longitudinal data required for the development of novel machine learning algorithms. This study proposes a novel machine learning algo...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Malignant lymphomas are cancers of the immune system and are characterized by enlarged lymph nodes that typically spread across many different sites. Many different histological subtypes exist, whose diagnosis is typically ...
BACKGROUND: The analysis of health and medical data is crucial for improving the diagnosis precision, treatments and prevention. In this field, machine learning techniques play a key role. However, the amount of health data acquired from digital mach...
One of the main technical challenges of PET/MRI is to achieve an accurate PET attenuation correction (AC) estimation. In current systems, AC is accomplished by generating an MRI-based surrogate computed tomography (CT) from which AC-maps are derived....
We propose an ensemble of multilayer feedforward neural networks to estimate the 3D position of photoelectric interactions in monolithic detectors. The ensemble is trained with data generated from optical Monte Carlo simulations only. The originality...
PURPOSE: Positron emission tomography (PET) is an important tool for nuclear medical imaging. It has been widely used in clinical diagnosis, scientific research, and drug testing. PET is a kind of emission computed tomography. Its basic imaging princ...
Dual-tracer positron emission tomography (PET) is a promising technique to measure the distribution of two tracers in the body by a single scan, which can improve the clinical accuracy of disease diagnosis and can also serve as a research tool for sc...
F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) enables in-vivo capture of the topographic metabolism patterns in the brain. These images have shown great promise in revealing the altered metabolism patterns in Alzheimer's disease (AD). ...
