Tomosynthesis imaging requires projection images from different viewing angles. Conventional systems use a moving xray source to acquire the individual projections. Using a stationary distributed x-ray source with a number of sources that equals the number of required projections, this can be achieved without any mechanical motion. Advantages are a potentially faster image acquisition speed, hi...
BACKGROUND As a dual-modality contrast agent, magnetic microbubbles (MMBs) can not only improve contrast of ultrasound (US) image, but can also serve as a contrast agent of magnetic resonance image (MRI). With the help of MMBs, a new registration method between US image and MRI is presented. METHODS In this method, MMBs were used in both ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging process to en...
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE The presence of intracoronary thrombus is associated with less favorable results of percutaneous coronary interventions. In recent years, new devices have been designed to improve the outcome of these procedures when an intracoronary thrombus is present. The results of two new systems of thrombectomy used in a single center are analyzed. METHODS Prospective observat...
A snapshot Image Mapping Spectrometer (IMS) with high sampling density is developed for hyperspectral microscopy, measuring a datacube of dimensions 285 x 285 x 60 (x, y, lambda). The spatial resolution is approximately 0.45 microm with a FOV of 100 x 100 microm(2). The measured spectrum is from 450 nm to 650 nm and is sampled by 60 spectral channels with average sampling interval approximately...
Image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), adaptive radiotherapy (ART), and online reoptimization rely on accurate mapping of the radiation beam isocenter(s) from planning to treatment space. This mapping involves rigid and/or nonrigid registration of planning (pCT) and intratreatment (tCT) CT images. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively compare a fully automatic approach, including a non-ri...
The utility of a novel, high-precision, non-intrusive, wireless, accelerometer-based patient orientation monitoring system (APOMS) in determining orientation change in patients undergoing radiation treatment is reported here. Using this system a small wireless accelerometer sensor is placed on a patient's skin, broadcasting its orientation to the receiving station connected to a PC in the contr...
Purpose: To assess the relevance of focus to skin distance (FSD) measurements for patients with intraprostatic gold seeds using an image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) protocol. The second aim of this study was to analyse the frequency and nature of isocentre shifts made during a course of treatment for patients with prostate cancer. Additionally, the impact of isocentre shifts on dosimetry, r...
Quality assurance (QA) of the image quality for image-guided localization systems is crucial to ensure accurate visualization and localization of target volumes. In this study, a methodology was developed to assess and evaluate the constancy of the high-contrast spatial resolution, dose, energy, contrast, and geometrical accuracy of the BrainLAB ExacTrac system. An in-house fixation device was ...
In this article, the authors evaluate a merit function for 2D/3D registration called stochastic rank correlation (SRC). SRC is characterized by the fact that differences in image intensity do not influence the registration result; it therefore combines the numerical advantages of cross correlation (CC)-type merit functions with the flexibility of mutual-information-type merit functions. The bas...
The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) is a nonprofit professional society whose primary purposes are to advance the science, education, and professional practice of medical physics. The AAPM has more than 8,000 members and is the principal organization of medical physicists in the United States. The AAPM will periodically define new practice guidelines for medical physics pr...
