PURPOSE: In proton therapy, imaging prompt gamma (PG) rays has the potential to verify proton dose (PD) distribution. Despite the fact that there is a strong correlation between the gamma-ray emission and PD, they are still different in terms of the ...
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S): Online proton range/dose verification based on measurements of proton-induced positron emitters is a promising strategy for quality assurance in proton therapy. Because of the nonlinear correlation between the dose distribution ...
PURPOSE: To develop a robust method for brain metabolite quantification in proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( H-MRS) using a convolutional neural network (CNN) that maps in vivo brain spectra that are typically degraded by low SNR, line broaden...
In this study, we investigate a proton-based three-terminal (3-T) synapse device to realize linear weight-update and I-V linearity characteristics for neuromorphic systems. The conductance states of the 3-T synapse device can be controlled by modulat...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: We propose an automated segmentation pipeline based on deep learning for proton lung MRI segmentation and ventilation-based quantification which improves on our previously reported methodologies in terms of computational eff...
PURPOSE: Although deep learning has shown great promise for MR image reconstruction, an open question regarding the success of this approach is the robustness in the case of deviations between training and test data. The goal of this study is to asse...
