Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...

  • Enable prompt, in vivo dose monitoring during BNCT treatments.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized simulated BNCT Compton camera images.
  • Implemented U-Net and deep convolutional framelets architectures.
  • Focused on noise and artifact reduction in reconstructed images.

Main Results:

  • Achieved significant reduction in processing time (approx. 6x) compared to iterative methods.
  • Demonstrated promising accuracy in dose reconstruction.
  • Provided a feasible solution for real-time dose monitoring.

Conclusions:

  • Deep learning models offer a substantial improvement in BNCT dose reconstruction speed.
  • The developed models are compatible with typical BNCT treatment durations.
  • Further optimization using advanced deep learning techniques can enhance performance.
