• Abstract: 4D Computed Tomography (4DCT) is widely used for many clinical applications such as radiotherapy treatment planning, PET and ventilation imaging. However, common 4DCT methods reconstruct multiple breath cycles into a single, arbitrary breath cycle which can lead to various artefacts, impacting the downstream clinical applications. Surrogate driven motion models can estimate continuous variable motion across multiple cycles based on CT segments `unsorted' from 4DCT, but it requires respiration surrogate signals with strong correlation to the internal motion, which are not always available. The method proposed in this study eliminates such dependency by adapting the hyper-gradient method to the optimization of surrogate signals as hyper-parameters, while achieving better or comparable performance, as demonstrated on digital phantom simulations and real patient data. Our method produces a high-quality motion-compensated image together with estimates of the motion, including breath-to-breath variability, throughout the image acquisition. Our method has the potential to improve downstream clinical applications, and also enables retrospective analysis of open access 4DCT dataset where no respiration signals are stored.

  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.

  Optoacoustic (OA) imaging is based on excitation of biological tissues with nanosecond-duration laser pulses followed by detection of ultrasound waves generated via light-absorption-mediated thermoelastic expansion. OA imaging features a powerful combination between rich optical contrast and high resolution in deep tissues. No standardized datasets generated with different types of experimental set-up and associated processing methods are available to facilitate advances in broader applications of OA in clinical settings.

  Changes in cardiovascular hemodynamics are closely related to the development of aortic regurgitation (AR) These metrics can be non-invasively obtained using four-dimensional (4D) flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) However, insufficient resolution often results from limitations in 4D flow MRI and complex AR hemodynamics. To address this, computational fluid dynamics simulations were transformed into synthetic 4D flow MRI data and used to train a variety of neural networks.
