Medical Image Synthesis via Monte Carlo Simulation
A large number of test images and their "ground truth" segmentations are needed for performance characterization of the many image segmentation methods. In this work we ...

Nanoparticle-Enhanced Proton Computed Tomography: A Monte Carlo Simulation Study
Proton computed tomography (pCT) has the potential to improve the accuracy of proton treatment planning, which is currently based on x-ray computed tomography (xCT). However, at t...

Coronary tree extraction from X-ray angiograms using marked point processes
In this paper, we use marked point processes to perform an unsupervised extraction of the coronary tree from 2D X-ray angiography. These processes provide a rigorous framework bas...

Monte Carlo assessment of time-of-flight benefits on the LYSO-based discovery RX PET/CT scanner
Time-Of-Flight (TOF) positron emission tomography (PET) was studied and preliminarily developed in the 80s, but the lack of a scintillator able to deliver proper time resolution a...
