Radiation Protection and Occupational Exposure on Ga-PSMA-11-Based Cerenkov Luminescence Imaging Procedures in Robot-Assisted Prostatectomy.

Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine
Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) was successfully implemented in the intraoperative context as a form of radioguided cancer surgery, showing promise in the detection of surgical margins during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. The present stud...

Deep-Learning Generation of Synthetic Intermediate Projections Improves Lu SPECT Images Reconstructed with Sparsely Acquired Projections.

Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine
The aims of this study were to decrease the Lu-SPECT acquisition time by reducing the number of projections and to circumvent image degradation by adding deep-learning-generated synthesized projections. We constructed a deep convolutional U-net-shap...

A deep learning approach to radiation dose estimation.

Physics in medicine and biology
Currently methods for predicting absorbed dose after administering a radiopharmaceutical are rather crude in daily clinical practice. Most importantly, individual tissue density distributions as well as local variations of the concentration of the ra...

Glucose-holmium for radiotherapy: Characterization and in vitro assays.

Applied radiation and isotopes : including data, instrumentation and methods for use in agriculture, industry and medicine
BACKGROUND: The existence of saccharide-holmium complexes, containing mono or polysaccharide molecules, is an attractive hypothesis toward a radiation therapy (RT) with beta-emitters targeting high glucose metabolic human sites. To exam such hypothes...

Personalized Models for Injected Activity Levels in SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
We propose a patient-specific ("personalized") approach for tailoring the injected activities to individual patients in order to achieve dose reduction in SPECT-myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). First, we develop a strategy to determine the minimum...

RAPTOR-AI: An open-source AI powered radiation protection toolkit for radioisotopes.

Applied radiation and isotopes : including data, instrumentation and methods for use in agriculture, industry and medicine
Artificial intelligence (AI) has gained significant attention in various scientific fields due to its ability to process large datasets. In nuclear radiation physics, while AI presents exciting opportunities, it cannot replace physics-based models es...

Robotic Dispersal Technique for 35 GBq of 140La in an L-polygon Pattern.

Health physics
In 2018, Defence Research and Development Canada, in partnership with Natural Resources Canada, led a field trial of survey and mapping of a large dispersion of radioactivity using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The intent was to disperse La materi...
