Anatomical Landmark detection in CT-Scan images is widely used in the identification of skeletal disorders. However, the traditional process of manually detecting anatomical landmarks, especially in three dimensions, is both time-consuming and prone ...
Deep learning-based image segmentation has allowed for the fully automated, accurate, and rapid analysis of musculoskeletal (MSK) structures from medical images. However, current approaches were either applied only to 2D cross-sectional images, addre...
During acquisition and reconstruction, medical images may become noisy and lose diagnostic quality. In the case of CT scans, obtaining less noisy images results in a higher radiation dose being administered to the patient. Filtering techniques can be...
Photon counting CT (PCCT) acquires spectral measurements and enables generation of material decomposition (MD) images that provide distinct advantages in various clinical situations. However, noise amplification is observed in MD images, and denoisin...
Reducing the dose of radiation in computed tomography (CT) is vital to decreasing secondary cancer risk. However, the use of low-dose CT (LDCT) images is accompanied by increased noise that can negatively impact diagnoses. Although numerous deep lear...
CT-based bronchial tree analysis is a key step for the diagnosis of lung and airway diseases. However, the topology of bronchial trees varies across individuals, which presents a challenge to the automatic bronchus classification. To solve this issue...
Deformable image registration is one of the essential processes in analyzing medical images. In particular, when diagnosing abdominal diseases such as hepatic cancer and lymphoma, multi-domain images scanned from different modalities or different ima...
Self-supervised learning (SSL) has long had great success in advancing the field of annotation-efficient learning. However, when applied to CT volume segmentation, most SSL methods suffer from two limitations, including rarely using the information a...
OBJECTIVE: To compare iodine density (ID) and contrast-enhanced attenuation value (CEAV) from dual-layer spectral computed tomography (DLSCT) scans of lymphomatous, metastatic squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA), and normal cervical lymph nodes.
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess and compare two state-of-the-art deep learning approaches for segmenting four thoracic organs at riskĀ (OAR)-the esophagus, trachea, heart, and aorta-in CT images in the context of radiotherapy planning.
