The ability to synthesise Computed Tomography images - commonly known as pseudo CT, or pCT - from MRI input data is commonly assessed using an intensity-wise similarity, such as an L2-norm between the ground truth CT and the pCT. However,…
Computer Tomography (CT) images have become quite important to diagnose diseases. CT scan slice contains a vast amount of data that may not be properly examined with the requisite precision and speed using normal visual inspection. A…
AI requires extensive datasets, while medical data is subject to high data protection. Anonymization is essential, but poses a challenge for some regions, such as the head, as identifying structures overlap with regions of clinical…
In early years of life, the cranium rapidly changes in size and shape to accommodate brain growth, primarily driven by mechanical stress from brain expansion. Developmental disorders such as premature fusion of sutures in craniosynostosis,…
Craniosynostosis is a medical condition that affects the growth of babies' heads, caused by an early fusion of cranial sutures. In recent decades, surgical treatments for craniosynostosis have significantly improved, leading to reduced…
Model-based treatment planning for transcranial ultrasound therapy typically involves mapping the acoustic properties of the skull from an x-ray computed tomography (CT) image of the head. Here, three methods for generating pseudo-CT images…
