A Pattern Fusion Algorithm to Determine the Effectiveness of Predictions of Respiratory Surrogate Motion Multiple-Steps Ahead of Real Time
(2015)Purpose: Ensuring that tumor motion is within the radiation field for high-dose and high-precision radiosurgery in areas greatly influenced by respiratory motion. Therefore tracking the target or gating the radiation beam ... -
Deep Learning Image Analysis Framework for Clinical Management of Retinal and Corneal Diseases
(2022)Retinal and corneal diseases are the leading causes of global vision impairment. The advent of high‐resolution ophthalmic imaging technology enables the visualization of internal and external structures of the eye, thereby ... -
Development of an Integrated SPECT-CmT Dedicated Breast Imaging System Incorporating Novel Data Acquisition and Patient Bed Designs
(2010)This thesis research builds upon prior work that developed separate SPECT and CT (computed mammotomography, or breast CT) devices that were independently capable of imaging an uncompressed breast in 3D space. To further ... -
Development of Imaging-Based Models for Analyzing the Spatiotemporal Function of Intervertebral Discs
(2023)Lumbar intervertebral discs (IVD) play a critical role in facilitating the mobility and load-bearing functionality of the spine. Consequently, degeneration of the IVDs has been linked to the development of low back pain ... -
Explainable Artificial Intelligence Techniques in Medical Imaging Analysis
(2023)Artificial intelligence (AI), including classic machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), has recently made an impact on advanced medical image analysis. Classic ML learns the data representation by manual image feature ... -
Towards Realizing Virtual Clinical Trials for Optimization and Evaluation of Breast Imaging Systems
(2014)It is essential that breast cancer be detected at its earliest stages for better prognosis. Advanced imaging techniques and systems are constantly under development and study to improve the screening and detection of breast ...
