Denoising of Scintillation Camera Images Using a Deep Convolutional Neural Network: A Monte Carlo Simulation Approach.

Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine
Scintillation camera images contain a large amount of Poisson noise. We have investigated whether noise can be removed in whole-body bone scans using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained with sets of noisy and noiseless images obtained by Mon...

k-Space deep learning for reference-free EPI ghost correction.

Magnetic resonance in medicine
PURPOSE: Nyquist ghost artifacts in echo planar imaging (EPI) are originated from phase mismatch between the even and odd echoes. However, conventional correction methods using reference scans often produce erroneous results especially in high-field ...

Deep learning for patient-specific quality assurance: Identifying errors in radiotherapy delivery by radiomic analysis of gamma images with convolutional neural networks.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Patient-specific quality assurance (QA) for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a ubiquitous clinical procedure, but conventional methods have often been criticized as being insensitive to errors or less effective than other comm...

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 ...

Parathyroid hormone in washout fluid seems to be superior to cytology for localization of the lesion in MIBI-negative patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.

Turkish journal of medical sciences
Background/aim: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is characterized by increased calcium (Ca) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Surgical removal of the culprit hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland is the preferred treatment. In this study, we aimed...

Refining diagnosis of Parkinson's disease with deep learning-based interpretation of dopamine transporter imaging.

NeuroImage. Clinical
Dopaminergic degeneration is a pathologic hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD), which can be assessed by dopamine transporter imaging such as FP-CIT SPECT. Until now, imaging has been routinely interpreted by human though it can show interobserver va...

Expert System for Bone Scan Interpretation Improves Progression Assessment in Bone Metastatic Prostate Cancer.

Advances in therapy
INTRODUCTION: The bone scan index (BSI) was introduced as a quantitative tool for tumor involvement in bone of patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). The computer-aided diagnosis device for BSI analysis EXINIbone seems to represent technica...
