A Monte Carlo based scatter removal method for non-isocentric cone-beam CT acquisitions using a deep convolutional autoencoder.

Physics in medicine and biology
The primary cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging beam scatters inside the patient and produces a contaminating photon fluence that is registered by the detector. Scattered photons cause artifacts in the image reconstruction, and are partially...

3-D H-Scan Ultrasound Imaging and Use of a Convolutional Neural Network for Scatterer Size Estimation.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
H-Scan ultrasound (US) is a new imaging technology that estimates the relative size of acoustic scattering objects and structures. The purpose of this study was to introduce a three-dimensional (3-D) H-scan US imaging approach for scatterer size esti...

An Artificial Neural Network Assisted Dynamic Light Scattering Procedure for Assessing Living Cells Size in Suspension.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is an essential technique used for assessing the size of the particles in suspension, covering the range from nanometers to microns. Although it has been very well established for quite some time, improvement can still ...

High quality proton portal imaging using deep learning for proton radiation therapy: a phantom study.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
Purpose; For shoot-through proton treatments, like FLASH radiotherapy, there will be protons exiting the patient which can be used for proton portal imaging (PPI), revealing valuable information for the validation of tumor location in the beam's-eye-...

A Deep Learning-based correction to EPID dosimetry for attenuation and scatter in the Unity MR-Linac system.

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)
PURPOSE: EPID dosimetry in the Unity MR-Linac system allows for reconstruction of absolute dose distributions within the patient geometry. Dose reconstruction is accurate for the parts of the beam arriving at the EPID through the MRI central unattenu...

Machine Learning Approaches for Automated Lesion Detection in Microwave Breast Imaging Clinical Data.

Scientific reports
Breast lesion detection employing state of the art microwave systems provide a safe, non-ionizing technique that can differentiate healthy and non-healthy tissues by exploiting their dielectric properties. In this paper, a microwave apparatus for bre...

Two-Dimensional Light Scattering Anisotropy Cytometry for Label-Free Classification of Ovarian Cancer Cells via Machine Learning.

Cytometry. Part A : the journal of the International Society for Analytical Cytology
We develop a single-mode fiber-based cytometer for the obtaining of two-dimensional (2D) light scattering patterns from static single cells. Anisotropy of the 2D light scattering patterns of single cells from ovarian cancer and normal cell lines is i...

Scatter correction of cone-beam CT using a deep residual convolution neural network (DRCNN).

Physics in medicine and biology
Scatter correction is an essential technique to improve the image quality of cone-beam CT (CBCT). Although different scatter correction methods have been proposed in the literature, a standard solution is still being studied due to the limitations in...

Applications, promises, and pitfalls of deep learning for fluorescence image reconstruction.

Nature methods
Deep learning is becoming an increasingly important tool for image reconstruction in fluorescence microscopy. We review state-of-the-art applications such as image restoration and super-resolution imaging, and discuss how the latest deep learning res...

Enabling machine learning in X-ray-based procedures via realistic simulation of image formation.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Machine learning-based approaches now outperform competing methods in most disciplines relevant to diagnostic radiology. Image-guided procedures, however, have not yet benefited substantially from the advent of deep learning, in particular b...
