Dosimetry-Driven Quality Measure of Brain Pseudo Computed Tomography Generated From Deep Learning for MRI-Only Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: This study aims to evaluate the impact of key parameters on the pseudo computed tomography (pCT) quality generated from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a 3-dimensional (3D) convolutional neural network.

Birds have peramorphic skulls, too: anatomical network analyses reveal oppositional heterochronies in avian skull evolution.

Communications biology
In contrast to the vast majority of reptiles, the skulls of adult crown birds are characterized by a high degree of integration due to bone fusion, e.g., an ontogenetic event generating a net reduction in the number of bones. To understand this proce...

Learning-based local-to-global landmark annotation for automatic 3D cephalometry.

Physics in medicine and biology
The annotation of three-dimensional (3D) cephalometric landmarks in 3D computerized tomography (CT) has become an essential part of cephalometric analysis, which is used for diagnosis, surgical planning, and treatment evaluation. The automation of 3D...

A novel transcranial ultrasound imaging method with diverging wave transmission and deep learning approach.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Real time brain transcranial ultrasound imaging is extremely intriguing because of its numerous applications. However, the skull causes phase distortion and amplitude attenuation of ultrasound signals due to its density: the speed of sound is signifi...

Sex estimation: a comparison of techniques based on binary logistic, probit and cumulative probit regression, linear and quadratic discriminant analysis, neural networks, and naïve Bayes classification using ordinal variables.

International journal of legal medicine
The performance of seven classification methods, binary logistic (BLR), probit (PR) and cumulative probit (CPR) regression, linear (LDA) and quadratic (QDA) discriminant analysis, artificial neural networks (ANN), and naïve Bayes classification (NBC)...

One-Shot Generative Adversarial Learning for MRI Segmentation of Craniomaxillofacial Bony Structures.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Compared to computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) delineation of craniomaxillofacial (CMF) bony structures can avoid harmful radiation exposure. However, bony boundaries are blurry in MRI, and structural information needs to be b...

Convolutional neural networks for skull-stripping in brain MR imaging using silver standard masks.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Manual annotation is considered to be the "gold standard" in medical imaging analysis. However, medical imaging datasets that include expert manual segmentation are scarce as this step is time-consuming, and therefore expensive. Moreover, single-rate...

Deep Convolution Neural Network (DCNN) Multiplane Approach to Synthetic CT Generation From MR images-Application in Brain Proton Therapy.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: The first aim of this work is to present a novel deep convolution neural network (DCNN) multiplane approach and compare it to single-plane prediction of synthetic computed tomography (sCT) by using the real computed tomography (CT) as ground...

Robotic laser osteotomy through penscriptive structured light visual servoing.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Planning osteotomies is a task that surgeons do as part of standard surgical workflow. This task, however, becomes more difficult and less intuitive when a robot is tasked with performing the osteotomy. In this study, we aim to provide a new...

Craniobot: A computer numerical controlled robot for cranial microsurgeries.

Scientific reports
Over the last few decades, a plethora of tools has been developed for neuroscientists to interface with the brain. Implementing these tools requires precisely removing sections of the skull to access the brain. These delicate cranial microsurgical pr...
