BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Premature ventricular contraction is associated to the risk of coronary heart disease, and its diagnosis depends on a long time heart monitoring. For this purpose, monitoring through Holter devices is often used and computat...
PURPOSE: In multiphase coronary CT angiography (CTA), a series of CT images are taken at different levels of radiation dose during the examination. Although this reduces the total radiation dose, the image quality during the low-dose phases is signif...

OBJECTIVE: Although CT has been used as a complementary diagnostic method for the preoperative diagnosis of thyroid cancer, it has the shortcomings of substantial radiation exposure and the use of contrast material (CM). The purpose of this article i...
The goals of this review paper on deep learning (DL) in medical imaging and radiation therapy are to (a) summarize what has been achieved to date; (b) identify common and unique challenges, and strategies that researchers have taken to address these ...
OBJECTIVE: Atrial fibrillation is a common type of heart rhythm abnormality caused by a problem with the heart's electrical system. Early detection of this disease has important implications for stroke prevention and management. Our objective is to c...

Swallowing is a complex process that involves sequential voluntary and involuntary muscle contractions. Malfunctioning of swallowing related muscles could lead to dysphagia. However, there is a lack of standardized and non-invasive methods that suppo...
Three-dimensional single particle tracking (3D SPT) is a powerful tool in various chemical and biological studies. In 3D SPT, z sensitive point spread functions (PSFs) are frequently used to generate different patterns, from which the axial position ...

CCTA has become an important tool for coronary arteries assessment in low and medium risk patients. However, it exposes the patient to significant radiation doses, resulting from high image quality requirements and acquisitions at multiple cardiac ph...
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...
