Artificial intelligence in diagnostic imaging: impact on the radiography profession.

The British journal of radiology
The arrival of artificially intelligent systems into the domain of medical imaging has focused attention and sparked much debate on the role and responsibilities of the radiologist. However, discussion about the impact of such technology on the radio...

Utilizing Machine Learning for Image Quality Assessment for Reflectance Confocal Microscopy.

The Journal of investigative dermatology
In vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) enables clinicians to examine lesions' morphological and cytological information in epidermal and dermal layers while reducing the need for biopsies. As RCM is being adopted more widely, the workflow is e...

A fast and scalable method for quality assurance of deformable image registration on lung CT scans using convolutional neural networks.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate a method to automatically identify and quantify deformable image registration (DIR) errors between lung computed tomography (CT) scans for quality assurance (QA) purposes.

Computationally efficient deep neural network for computed tomography image reconstruction.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Deep neural network-based image reconstruction has demonstrated promising performance in medical imaging for undersampled and low-dose scenarios. However, it requires large amount of memory and extensive time for the training. It is especial...

PET image denoising using unsupervised deep learning.

European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging
PURPOSE: Image quality of positron emission tomography (PET) is limited by various physical degradation factors. Our study aims to perform PET image denoising by utilizing prior information from the same patient. The proposed method is based on unsup...

Predicting gamma passing rates for portal dosimetry-based IMRT QA using machine learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) quality assurance (QA) measurements are routinely performed prior to treatment delivery to verify dose calculation and delivery accuracy. In this work, we applied a machine learning-based approach...

Accelerating cardiovascular model building with convolutional neural networks.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
The objective of this work is to reduce the user effort required for 2D segmentation when building patient-specific cardiovascular models using the SimVascular cardiovascular modeling software package. The proposed method uses a fully convolutional n...

Using a deep neural network for four-dimensional CT artifact reduction in image-guided radiotherapy.

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)
INTRODUCTION: Breathing artifact may affect the quality of four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) images. We developed a deep neural network (DNN)-based artifact reduction method.

Development of interval-valued fuzzy GRA with SERVPERF based on subjective and objective weights for evaluation of airline service quality: A case study of Korea low-cost carriers.

PloS one
As the airline industry has become ever-more competitive and profitability more tenuous, airline service quality management has grown more important to airlines. Although many studies have focused on the evaluation of airline service quality, some co...

Use of artificial neural network for pretreatment verification of intensity modulation radiation therapy fields.

The British journal of radiology
OBJECTIVE: The accuracy of dose delivery for intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) treatments should be determined by an accurate quality assurance procedure. In this work, we used artificial neural networks (ANNs) as an application for the pre-tre...
