• Abstract: Efficiently acquired and precisely reconstructed imaging are crucial to the success of modern radiation therapy (RT). Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are two common modalities for providing RT treatment planning and delivery guidance/monitoring. In recent decades, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful and widely adopted technique across various fields, valued for its efficiency and convenience enabled by implicit function definition and data-driven feature representation learning. Here, we present a series of AI-driven medical imaging reconstruction frameworks for enhanced radiotherapy, designed to improve CT image reconstruction quality and speed, refine dual-energy CT (DECT) multi-material decomposition (MMD), and significantly accelerate 4D MRI acquisition.

  We introduce a novel semantic alignment method of multi-subject fMRI signals using so-called MindFormer. This model is specifically designed to generate fMRI-conditioned feature vectors that can be used for conditioning Stable Diffusion model for fMRI- to-image generation or large language model (LLM) for fMRI-to-text generation. Our experimental results demonstrate that MindFormer generates semantically consistent images and text across different subjects.
