Three-dimensional (3D) images, such as CT, MRI, and PET, are common in medical imaging applications and important in clinical diagnosis. Semantic ambiguity is a typical feature of many medical image labels. It can be caused by many factors,…

Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) utilizes separate X-ray energy spectra to improve multi-material decomposition (MMD) for various diagnostic applications. However accurate decomposing more than two types of material remains…

Spectral computed tomography (CT) has attracted much attention in radiation dose reduction, metal artifacts removal, tissue quantification and material discrimination. The x-ray energy spectrum is divided into several bins, each…

Computed Tomography (CT) imaging is one of the most influential diagnostic methods. In clinical reconstruction, an effective energy is used instead of total X-ray spectrum. This approximation causes an accuracy decline. To increase the…

Spectral computed tomography (CT) is an emerging technology, that generates a multienergy attenuation map for the interior of an object and extends the traditional image volume into a 4D form. Compared with traditional CT based on…

Recently, deep learning (DL) found its way to interventional X-ray skin dose estimation. While its performance was found to be acceptable, even more accurate results could be achieved if more data sets were available for training. One…

Discrete cosine transform (DCT) and other Fourier-related transforms have broad applications in scientific computing. However, off-the-shelf high-performance multi-dimensional DCT (MD DCT) libraries are not readily available in parallel…
