. To monitor the human respiration rate (RR) using infrared thermography (IRT) and artificial intelligence, in a completely contactless, automated, and non-invasive manner.. The human breathing signals (BS) were obtained using IRT, by plotting the ch...
Non-contact physiological measurements have been under investigation for many years, and among these measurements is non-contact spirometry, which could provide acute and chronic pulmonary disease monitoring and diagnosis. This work presents a feasib...
PURPOSE: To enable real-time adaptive magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy (MRIgRT) by obtaining time-resolved three-dimensional (3D) deformation vector fields (DVFs) with high spatiotemporal resolution and low latency ( ms). Theory and M...

PURPOSE: Fast helical free-breathing CT (FHFBCT) scans are widely used for 5DCT and 5D Cone Beam imaging protocols. For quantitative analysis of lung physiology and function, it is important to segment the lung lobes in these scans. Since the 5DCT pr...
Background Obtaining ventricular volumetry and mass is key to most cardiac MRI but challenged by long multibreath-hold acquisitions. Purpose To assess the image quality and performance of a highly accelerated, free-breathing, two-dimensional cine car...

PURPOSE: Respiratory motion of thoracic organs poses a severe challenge for the administration of image-guided radiotherapy treatments. Providing online and up-to-date volumetric information during free breathing can improve target tracking, ultimate...
Conventional respiration measurement requires a separate device and/or can cause discomfort, so it is difficult to perform routinely, even for patients with respiratory diseases. The development of contactless respiration measurement technology would...
BACKGROUND: Functional lung MRI techniques are usually associated with time-consuming post-processing, where manual lung segmentation represents the most cumbersome part. The aim of this study was to investigate whether deep learning-based segmentati...
