3D microwave tomography with huber regularization applied to realistic numerical breast phantoms [PDF]
Quantitative active microwave imaging for breast cancer screening and therapy monitoring applications requires adequate reconstruction algorithms, in particular with regard to the nonlinearity and ill-posedness of the inverse problem.

Development of quality standards for multi-center, longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging studies in clinical neuroscience [PDF]
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is generated by a complex procedure. Many possible sources of error exist which can lead to a worse signal. For example, hidden defective components of a MRI-scanner, changes in the static magnetic field caused by a ...

A Monte Carlo study of organ and effective doses of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans in radiotherapy [PDF]
Cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans utilized for image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) procedures have become an essential part of radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to assess organ and effective doses resulting from new CBCT scan protocols (head, thorax, and

Automatic phantom test pattern classification through transfer learning with deep neural networks [PDF]
Imaging phantoms are test patterns used to measure image quality in computer tomography (CT) systems. A new phantom platform (Mercury Phantom, Gammex) provides test patterns for estimating the task transfer function (TTF) or noise power spectrum (NPF) and simulates different patient sizes.

Passive element enriched photoacoustic computed tomography (PER PACT) for simultaneous imaging of acoustic propagation properties and light absorption\ud [PDF]
We present a ‘hybrid’ imaging approach which can image both light absorption properties and acoustic transmission properties of an object in a two-dimensional slice using a computed tomography (CT) photoacoustic imager.
