Dynamic functional connectivity is an effective measure for the brain's responses to continuous stimuli. We propose an inferential method to detect the dynamic changes of brain networks based on time-varying graphical models. Whereas most…

While optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides a resolution down to 1 micrometer it has difficulties to visualize cellular structures due to a lack of scattering contrast. By evaluating signal fluctuations, a significant contrast…

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images are problematic in clinical medicine because of their low contrast and high artifact content compared with conventional CT images. Although there are some studies to improve image quality, in…

Dynamic aperture is an important concept for the study of non-linear beam dynamics in circular accelerators. It describes the extent of the phase-space region where a particle's motion remains bounded over a given number of turns.…

Spatiotemporal dynamics is central to a wide range of applications from climatology, computer vision to neural sciences. From temporal observations taken on a high-dimensional vector of spatial locations, we seek to derive knowledge about…

We propose a magnetometer for the precise measurement of AC magnetic fields that uses a Terbium-doped optical fiber with half-waveplates built into it at specified distances. Our scheme uses an open-loop quantum control technique called…

Iterative methods for tomographic image reconstruction have great potential for enabling high quality imaging from low-dose projection data. The computational burden of iterative reconstruction algorithms, however, has been an impediment in…

The fastCAT application uses pre-calculated Monte Carlo (MC) CBCT phantom-specific scatter and detector response functions to reduce simulation time for megavoltage (MV) and kilovoltage (kV) CBCT imaging. Pre-calculated x-ray beam energy…

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is typically performed with image guidance using X-ray angiograms in which coronary arteries are opacified with X-ray opaque contrast agents. Interventional cardiologists typically navigate…

In recent times, we experimentally realized a quite efficient modeling of the shape of diffraction-resistant optical beams; thus generating for the first time the so-called Frozen Waves (FW), whose longitudinal intensity pattern can be…

Fractal image compression is attractive except for its high encoding time requirements. The image is encoded as a set of contractive affine transformations. The image is partitioned into non-overlapping range blocks, and a best matching…

Dexterous in-hand manipulation is a long-standing challenge in robotics due to complex contact dynamics and partial observability. While humans synergize vision and touch for such tasks, robotic approaches often prioritize one modality,…

The Diffusion Transformer (DiT) architecture is the state-of-the-art paradigm for high-fidelity image generation, underpinning models like Stable Diffusion-3 and FLUX.1. However, deploying these models on resource-constrained mobile devices…

Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) provides the possibility of estimating the location and course of eloquent structures in the human brain. Knowledge about this is of high importance for preoperative planning of neurosurgical interventions and…

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for breast imaging has potential to replace conventional mammograms. However, concerns over dose and image quality prevent CBBCT systems from the clinical trial phase to next stage. The time of flight…

Unseen noise signal which is not considered in a model training process is difficult to anticipate and would lead to performance degradation. Various methods have been investigated to mitigate unseen noise. In our previous work, an…

X-ray fluorescence computed tomography (XFCT) is a molecular imaging technique of x-ray photons, which can be used to sense different elements or nanoparticle (NP) agents inside deep samples or tissues. XFCT has been an active research…

Aligning beamlines at synchrotron light sources is a high-dimensional, expensive-to-sample optimization problem, as beams are focused using a series of dynamic optical components. Bayesian Optimization is an efficient machine learning…

Purpose: Spectral imaging is a method in medical x-ray imaging to extract information about the object constituents by the material-specific energy dependence of x-ray attenuation. The authors have investigated a photon-counting spectral…

We have developed a lab work module where we teach undergraduate students how to quantify the dynamics of a suspension of microscopic particles, measuring and analyzing the motion of those particles at the individual level or as a group.…
