[ 1 ] - Generating Synthetic Computed Tomography and Synthetic Magnetic Resonance (sMR: sT1w/sT2w) Images of the Brain Using Atlas-Based Method
Introduction: Nowadays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in combination with computed-tomography (CT) is increasingly being used in radiation therapy planning. MR and CT images are applied to determine the target volume and calculate dose distribution, respectively. Since the use of these two imaging modalities causes registration uncertainty and increases department w...
[ 2 ] - Generating the synthetic CT (sCT) and synthetic MR (sMR: sT1w/sT2w) images of the brain using atlas based method
Introduction: Radiation therapy planning (RTP) is one of the clinical applications in which both CT scan and MRI are used. MR and CT images are applied to determine the target volume and calculation of dose distribution, respectively. In addition, using two imaging modalities increases the department workload and cost. In this study, an algorithm was presented to create synthet...
[ 3 ] - Optimization of the brain tumor MR images classification accuracy using the optimal threshold, PCA and training ANFIS with different repetitions
Introduction: One of the leading causes of death among people is brain tumors. Accurate tumor classification leads to appropriate decision-making and providing the most efficient treatment to the patients. This study aims to optimize of the brain tumor MR images classification accuracy using the optimal threshold, PCA and training Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) w...
[ 4 ] - Measurement of the correlation coefficients between extracted features from CT and MR images
Introduction: Nowadays applying computer in image processing is being improved revolutionary for solving medical images deficiencies. Image features that are analysis in image processing show image information. The aim of the present study was to find correlation between CT- scan and MRI images' features. Materials and Methods: After data acquisition, applying...
[ 5 ] - The evaluation of change in attenuation coefficient of cerrobend block used for radiation protection of healthy tissues in megavoltage photon radiation therapy after multiple melting
Introduction: Protecting the vital organs in radiation therapy is one of the most important issues. Cerrobend alloy, the most common material used as the shield, is melted several times and used for different patients. In this study changes in attenuation coefficient of cerrobend due to melting was investigated. Materials and Methods: In melting furnace, ...
