Convolution Properties II01:17

Convolution Properties II

588
The important convolution properties include width, area, differentiation, and integration properties.
The width property indicates that if the durations of input signals are T1 and T2, then the width of the output response equals the sum of both durations, irrespective of the shapes of the two functions. For instance, convolving two rectangular pulses with durations of 2 seconds and 1 second results in a function with a width of 3 seconds.
The area property asserts that the area under the...

Distance Corrections01:15

Distance Corrections

293
To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

Convolution computations can be simplified by utilizing their inherent properties.
The commutative property reveals that the input and the impulse response of an LTI (Linear Time-Invariant) system can be interchanged without affecting the output:

Beams01:30

Beams

1.9K
Beams are integral components of structural engineering and construction, designed to support loads applied at various points along their length. These long, straight members can be classified based on geometry, cross-section, support type, and equilibrium condition.
Based on geometry, beams can be straight, tapered, or curved. Straight beams are the most common type and have a constant cross-section throughout their length. Tapered beams, on the other hand, have a varying cross-section along...

Power Factor Correction01:20

Power Factor Correction

544
The power transmission to a factory involves the transfer of apparent power, a combination of active and reactive power. The power factor measures how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output. The ratio of the real power (KW) that does the work to the apparent power (KVA) supplied to the circuit.

Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.6K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiotherapy Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

Background:

  • Cone-beam CT (CBCT) is crucial for image-guided radiotherapy, but suffers from intensity variations and artifacts.
  • Accurate CBCT intensity correction is essential for reliable dose calculation and treatment planning.
  • Current correction methods can be time-consuming and computationally intensive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a deep learning-based method for fast CBCT intensity correction in projection space.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of using a convolutional neural network (ScatterNet) for shading correction in CBCT.
  • To evaluate the dosimetric accuracy of the deep learning-corrected CBCT for volumetric modulated arc photon therapy (VMAT) and intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT).

Main Methods:

  • A convolutional neural network (ScatterNet) was designed with an attenuation conversion and a UNet-like shading correction stage.
  • The network was trained in 2D using pairs of measured and reference-corrected CBCT projections from 15 prostate cancer patients.
  • The performance of the deep learning correction was evaluated by comparing reconstructed CBCTs with a validated reference method (CBCTcor) using mean and absolute errors (ME and MAE) in 8 patients.

Main Results:

  • ScatterNet demonstrated significantly reduced mean and absolute errors compared to uncorrected CBCT and the reference method.
  • Pass rates for VMAT plans were near 100% when comparing ScatterNet to CBCTcor, indicating high dosimetric accuracy.
  • For IMPT plans, pass rates were lower (15-81%), with proton range differences up to 5 mm, suggesting limitations for proton therapy.

Conclusions:

  • Deep learning-based CBCT intensity correction is feasible and effective for VMAT in the pelvic region.
  • The developed neural network (ScatterNet) offers a substantial speed increase for intensity correction.
  • While accurate for photon therapy, the method requires further development for robust application in intensity-modulated proton therapy due to range uncertainties.
