Synthetic CT generation from CBCT images via deep learning

open access: yesMedical Physics, 2020
PurposeCone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning is used daily or weekly (i.e., on‐treatment CBCT) for accurate patient setup in image‐guided radiotherapy. However, inaccuracy of CT numbers prevents CBCT from performing advanced tasks such as dose calculation and treatment planning. Motivated by the promising performance of deep learning in medical

Patient-specific stopping power calibration for proton therapy planning based on single-detector proton radiography. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A simple robust optimizer has been developed that can produce patient-specific calibration curves to convert x-ray computed tomography (CT) numbers to relative stopping powers (HU-RSPs) for proton therapy treatment planning.

A Novel Synthetic CT Generation Method Using Multitask Maximum Entropy Clustering

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Due to the risk of radiation from computed tomography (CT) scanning on the human body, the number of CT scans that can be performed on an individual each year is limited. However, CT images play a very important role in medical diagnosis. Therefore, this

Comparison of synthetic membranes in the development of an in vitro feeding system for Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Although artificial feeding models for the poultry red mite (Dermanyssus gallinae) most frequently use biological membranes consisting of day-old chick skin, there are ethical considerations associated with the use of skin.
