BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Malignant lymphomas are cancers of the immune system and are characterized by enlarged lymph nodes that typically spread across many different sites. Many different histological subtypes exist, whose diagnosis is typically ...
PURPOSE: Three-dimensional (3D) printing allows for the fabrication of medical devices with complex geometries, such as soft actuators and robots that can be used in image-guided interventions. This study investigates flexible and rigid 3D-printing m...
Brain tumor is one of the most death defying diseases nowadays. The tumor contains a cluster of abnormal cells grouped around the inner portion of human brain. It affects the brain by squeezing/ damaging healthy tissues. It also amplifies intra crani...
Digitization of interstitial needles is a complicated and tedious process for the treatment planning of 3D CT image based interstitial high dose-rate brachytherapy (HDRBT) of gynecological cancer. We developed a deep-learning assisted auto-digitizati...
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an attractive technique that aims to reconstruct the unknown electrical property in a domain from the surface electrical measurements. In this work, the induced-current learning method (ICLM) is proposed to so...
Background Fixed airflow limitation and ventilation heterogeneity are common in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Conventional noncontrast CT provides airway and parenchymal measurements but cannot be used to directly determine lung funct...

Computed tomography (CT) of the head is used worldwide to diagnose neurologic emergencies. However, expertise is required to interpret these scans, and even highly trained experts may miss subtle life-threatening findings. For head CT, a unique chall...
The purpose of this work is to validate the application of a deep learning-based method for pelvic synthetic CT (sCT) generation that can be used for prostate proton beam therapy treatment planning. We propose to integrate dense block minimization in...
