BACKGROUND: Measurement of cross-sectional muscle area (CSMA) at the mid third lumbar vertebra (L3) level from computed tomography (CT) images is becoming one of the reference methods for sarcopenia diagnosis. However, manual skeletal muscle segmenta...
BACKGROUND: Delineation of Organs-at-Risks (OARs) is an important step in radiotherapy treatment planning. As manual delineation is time-consuming, labor-intensive and affected by inter- and intra-observer variability, a robust and efficient automati...
SIGNIFICANCE: X-ray Cherenkov-luminescence tomography (XCLT) produces fast emission data from megavoltage (MV) x-ray scanning, in which the excitation location of molecules within tissue is reconstructed. However standard filtered backprojection (FBP...

PURPOSE: Minimally invasive treatments for renal carcinoma offer a low rate of complications and quick recovery. One drawback of the use of computed tomography (CT) for needle guidance is the use of iodinated contrast agents, which require an increas...
BACKGROUND: The purpose of a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based denoiser is to increase the diagnostic accuracy of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) imaging. To increase diagnostic accuracy, there is a need for a method that reflects the feat...
Background Low-dose chest CT screening is recommended for smokers with the potential for lung function abnormality, but its role in predicting lung function remains unclear. Purpose To develop a deep learning algorithm to predict pulmonary function w...
Advanced visualization techniques such as maximum intensity projection (MIP) and volume rendering (VR) are useful for evaluating neurovascular anatomy on CT angiography (CTA) of the brain; however, interference from surrounding osseous anatomy is com...
Recently, algorithms capable of assessing the severity of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in form of the Coronary Artery Disease-Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) grade from Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) scans using Deep Learning (...
