CT ventilation images produced by a 3D neural network show improvement over the Jacobian and HU DIR-based methods to predict quantized lung function.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Radiation-induced pneumonitis affects up to 33% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, with fatal pneumonitis occurring in 2% of patients. Pneumonitis risk is related to the dose and volume of lung irradiated. Clinical radiothera...

A hybrid model- and deep learning-based framework for functional lung image synthesis from multi-inflation CT and hyperpolarized gas MRI.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Hyperpolarized gas MRI is a functional lung imaging modality capable of visualizing regional lung ventilation with exceptional detail within a single breath. However, this modality requires specialized equipment and exogenous contrast, wh...

Pulmonary Ventilation Maps Generated with Free-breathing Proton MRI and a Deep Convolutional Neural Network.

Radiology
Background Hyperpolarized noble gas MRI helps measure lung ventilation, but clinical translation remains limited. Free-breathing proton MRI may help quantify lung function using existing MRI systems without contrast material and may assist in providi...

A deep learning method for producing ventilation images from 4DCT: First comparison with technegas SPECT ventilation.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to develop a deep learning (DL) method for producing four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) ventilation imaging and to evaluate the accuracy of the DL-based ventilation imaging against single-photon emission...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Thoracic CT Texture Analysis and Machine Learning to Predict Pulmonary Ventilation.

Radiology
Background Fixed airflow limitation and ventilation heterogeneity are common in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Conventional noncontrast CT provides airway and parenchymal measurements but cannot be used to directly determine lung funct...

Expert-level classification of ventilatory thresholds from cardiopulmonary exercising test data with recurrent neural networks.

European journal of sport science
First and second ventilatory thresholds (VT and VT) represent the boundaries of the moderate-heavy and heavy-severe exercise intensity. Currently, VTs are primarily detected visually from cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) data, beginning with an i...

Technical Note: Deriving ventilation imaging from 4DCT by deep convolutional neural network.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Ventilation images can be derived from four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) by analyzing the change in HU values and deformable vector fields between different respiration phases of computed tomography (CT). As deformable image regist...
