• Abstract: Stroke is a leading cause of disability and death. Effective treatment decisions require early and informative vascular imaging. 4D perfusion imaging is ideal but rarely available within the first hour after stroke, whereas plain CT and CTA usually are. Hence, we propose a framework to extract a predicted perfusion map (PPM) derived from CT and CTA images. In all eighteen patients, we found significantly high spatial similarity (with average Spearman's correlation = 0.7893) between our predicted perfusion map (PPM) and the T-max map derived from 4D-CTP. Voxelwise correlations between the PPM and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) subscores for L/R hand motor, gaze, and language on a large cohort of 2,110 subjects reliably mapped symptoms to expected infarct locations. Therefore our PPM could serve as an alternative for 4D perfusion imaging, if the latter is unavailable, to investigate blood perfusion in the first hours after hospital admission.

  We propose a deep synthesis method to generate pseudo respiratory CT phases from static images for motion-aware treatment planning. The model produces patient-specific deformation vector fields (DVFs) by conditioning synthesis on external patient surface-based estimation. Results demonstrate for the first time that the generated pseudo-respiratory CT phases can capture organ and tumor motion with similar accuracy to repeated 4DCT scans of the same patient.

• O2CTA: Introducing Annotations from OCT to CCTA in Coronary Plaque Analysis [19.099761377777412]
  Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is widely used for artery imaging and determining the stenosis degree. It can be settled by invasive optical coherence tomography ( OCT) without much trouble for physicians, but bringing higher costs and potential risks to patients. We propose a method to handle the O2CTA problem. CCTA scans are first reconstructed into multi-planar reformatted (MPR) images, which agree with OCT images in term of semantic contents. The artery segment in OCT, which is manually labelled, is then spatially aligned with the entire artery in MPR images via the proposed alignment strategy.
