High quality proton portal imaging using deep learning for proton radiation therapy: a phantom study.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
Purpose; For shoot-through proton treatments, like FLASH radiotherapy, there will be protons exiting the patient which can be used for proton portal imaging (PPI), revealing valuable information for the validation of tumor location in the beam's-eye-...

A deep learning approach for converting prompt gamma images to proton dose distributions: A Monte Carlo simulation study.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
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 ...

Technical Note: Machine learning approaches for range and dose verification in proton therapy using proton-induced positron emitters.

Medical physics
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 ...

Intact metabolite spectrum mining by deep learning in proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the brain.

Magnetic resonance in medicine
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...

Understanding of proton induced synaptic behaviors in three-terminal synapse device for neuromorphic systems.

Nanotechnology
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...

Academic radiology
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...

Assessment of the generalization of learned image reconstruction and the potential for transfer learning.

Magnetic resonance in medicine
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...

Zero-Echo-Time and Dixon Deep Pseudo-CT (ZeDD CT): Direct Generation of Pseudo-CT Images for Pelvic PET/MRI Attenuation Correction Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks with Multiparametric MRI.

Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine
Accurate quantification of uptake on PET images depends on accurate attenuation correction in reconstruction. Current MR-based attenuation correction methods for body PET use a fat and water map derived from a 2-echo Dixon MRI sequence in which bone ...

Representing the potential-energy surface of protonated water clusters by high-dimensional neural network potentials.

Physical chemistry chemical physics : PCCP
Investigating the properties of protons in water is essential for understanding many chemical processes in aqueous solution. While important insights can in principle be gained by accurate and well-established methods like ab initio molecular dynamic...
