• Abstract summary: Time separation technique (TST) has been successfully used for modelling C-arm cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) perfusion data. Recently introduced Turbolift learning has been seen to perform well while working with TST reconstructions. This research explores the possibility by training the multi-scale attention UNet of Turbolift learning at its third stage on the time-resolved volumes (TRV) estimated out of TST reconstructions.

• Abstract: Perfusion imaging is a valuable tool for diagnosing and treatment planning for liver tumours. The time separation technique (TST) has been successfully used for modelling C-arm cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) perfusion data. The reconstruction can be accompanied by the segmentation of the liver - for better visualisation and for generating comprehensive perfusion maps. Recently introduced Turbolift learning has been seen to perform well while working with TST reconstructions, but has not been explored for the time-resolved volumes (TRV) estimated out of TST reconstructions. The segmentation of the TRVs can be useful for tracking the movement of the liver over time. This research explores this possibility by training the multi-scale attention UNet of Turbolift learning at its third stage on the TRVs and shows the robustness of Turbolift learning since it can even work efficiently with the TRVs, resulting in a Dice score of 0.864$\pm$0.004.

  We propose an inter-intra period-aware ECG representation learning approach. Considering ECGs of atrial fibrillation patients exhibit the irregularity in RR intervals and the absence of P-waves, we develop specific pre-training tasks for interperiod and intraperiod representations. Our approach demonstrates remarkable AUC performances on the BTCH dataset, textiti.e., 0.953/0.996 for paroxysmal/persistent atrial fibrillation detection.

  In patients with head and neck cancer, quality of standard CT scans generated using kilo-Voltage (kVCT) tube potentials is severely degraded by streak artifacts. Some radiotherapy devices offer the possibility of acquiring Mega-Voltage CT (MVCT) for daily patient setup verification. We propose a deep learning-based approach capable of generating artifact-free MVCT images from acquired kVCT images.

  The preservation of the corticospinal tract (CST) is key to good motor recovery after stroke. Non-contrast CT scans are routinely available in most intracerebral haemorrhage diagnostic pipelines. We show our model reproduces diffusion based tractography maps of the CST with a Dice similarity coefficient of 57%.

  The purpose of this study was to accelerate MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) acquisitions using deep learning-based (DL) reconstruction at 3T and 0.55T. We trained DL reconstructions using two different training strategies, supervised (SV) and self-supervised (SSV), with retrospectively six-fold undersampled data obtained at 3T. DL reconstructions demonstrated a reduction in average acquisition time from 599/542 to 255/180 seconds for MRCP at 3T/0.55T.

  The reconstruction quality attainable with commercial CBCT devices is insufficient due to metal artifacts in the presence of pedicle screws. We propose to adjust the C-arm CBCT source trajectory during the scan to optimize reconstruction quality with respect to a certain task. We demonstrate that convolutional neural networks trained on realistically simulated data are capable of predicting quality metrics that enable scene-specific adjustments of the CBCT source trajectory.
