Automatic treatment planning based on three-dimensional dose distribution predicted from deep learning technique.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop an automated treatment planning strategy for external beam intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), including a deep learning-based three-dimensional (3D) dose prediction and a dose distribution-based plan generation algorith...

High quality imaging from sparsely sampled computed tomography data with deep learning and wavelet transform in various domains.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Sparsely sampled computed tomography (CT) has been attracting attention as a technique that can reduce the high radiation dose of conventional CT. In general, iterative reconstruction techniques have been applied to sparsely sampled CT to re...

A feasibility study on an automated method to generate patient-specific dose distributions for radiotherapy using deep learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop a method for predicting optimal dose distributions, given the planning image and segmented anatomy, by applying deep learning techniques to a database of previously optimized and approved Intensity-modulated radiation therapy trea...

Statistical CT reconstruction using region-aware texture preserving regularization learning from prior normal-dose CT image.

Physics in medicine and biology
In some clinical applications, prior normal-dose CT (NdCT) images are available, and the valuable textures and structure features in them may be used to promote follow-up low-dose CT (LdCT) reconstruction. This study aims to learn texture information...

The evolution of image reconstruction for CT-from filtered back projection to artificial intelligence.

European radiology
The first CT scanners in the early 1970s already used iterative reconstruction algorithms; however, lack of computational power prevented their clinical use. In fact, it took until 2009 for the first iterative reconstruction algorithms to come commer...

Iterative quality enhancement via residual-artifact learning networks for low-dose CT.

Physics in medicine and biology
Radiation exposure and the associated risk of cancer for patients in computed tomography (CT) scans have been major clinical concerns. The radiation exposure can be reduced effectively via lowering the x-ray tube current (mA). However, this strategy ...

Unsupervised classification of tissues composition for Monte Carlo dose calculation.

Physics in medicine and biology
The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential of k-means clustering to efficiently reduce the variety of materials needed in Monte Carlo (MC) dose calculation. A numerical phantom with 31 human tissues surrounded by water is created. K-me...

Computed tomography super-resolution using deep convolutional neural network.

Physics in medicine and biology
The objective of this study is to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) for computed tomography (CT) image super-resolution. The network learns an end-to-end mapping between low (thick-slice thickness) and high (thin-slice thickness) resolutio...

Robotic-assisted transradial diagnostic coronary angiography.

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions
Robotic percutaneous coronary interventions have recently been introduced in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Robotics offers benefits of greater precision for stent placement and occupational hazard protection for operators and staff. First g...

Performance of a Robotic Assistance Device in Computed Tomography-Guided Percutaneous Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures.

Cardiovascular and interventional radiology
PURPOSE: To evaluate a commercially available robotic assistance device for computed tomography-guided diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, compared to regular, manually performed CT scan-guided interventions in terms of precision, exposure to r...
