Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed
tomography (CT) scanning are emerging as valuable tools to quantitatively map the spatial …

For patients with lung cancer undergoing curative intent radiotherapy, functional lung
imaging can be incorporated into treatment planning to modify the dose distribution within …

Background The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical impact of using deformable
registration in tumor volume definition between separately acquired PET/CT and planning …

Functional and molecular imaging techniques are increasingly being developed and used to
quantitatively map the spatial distribution of parameters, such as metabolism, proliferation …

Purpose: Voxel‐level and patient‐specific 3D dosimetry for targeted radionuclide therapy
(TRT) typically involves serial nuclear medicine scans. Misalignment of the images can …

There is growing clinical evidence that functional imaging is useful for target volume
definition and early assessment of tumour response to external beam radiotherapy. A …

620 Medical Imaging example, provide structural information of our body (eg, an anatomical
map), but do not convey functional information*(ie, relating to metabolic functions of an …

Accuracy validation is essential to clinical application of medical image registration
techniques. Registration validation remains a challenging problem in practice mainly due to …

The accuracy of elastic image registration is limited. We propose an approach to detect
voxels where registration based on the demons algorithm is likely to perform inaccurately …

Objective. This study aims to develop a fully automatic planning framework for functional
lung avoidance radiotherapy (AP-FLART). Approach. The AP-FLART integrates a dosimetric …
