Lung CT harmonization of paired reconstruction kernel images using generative adversarial networks
Apr. 24, 2024—Aravind R. Krishnan, Kaiwen Xu, Thomas Li, Lucas W. Remedios, Kim L. Sandler, Fabien Maldonado, Bennett A. Landman. “Lung CT harmonization of paired reconstruction kernel images using generative adversarial networks.”Med Phys. 2024;1-14.https://doi.org/10.1002/mp.17028 Abstract Background The kernel used in CT image reconstruction is an important factor that determines the texture of the CT image. Consistency of reconstruction...

Learning site-invariant features of connectomes to harmonize complex network measures
Dec. 1, 2023—Figure 1. Previous research elucidated that connectomes suffer from confounding site effects. In this work we propose a data-driven model to learn disjoint site (𝑐 = {1,2}) and biological features (siteless z) for BIOCARD (orange) and VMAP (blue) (left). We then inject a prescribed site, c’, to the learned representations to compute harmonized connectome modularity,...
Characterizing Streamline Count Invariant Graph Measures of Structural Connectomes
Sep. 6, 2023—Nancy R. Newlin, Francois Rheault, Kurt G. Schilling, Bennett A. Landman. “Characterizing Streamline Count Invariant Graph Measures of Structural Connectomes” Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. January 2023. Full Text Background While graph measures are used increasingly to characterize human connectomes, uncertainty remains in how to use these metrics in a quantitative and reproducible manner. Specifically, there is...
Body Composition Assessment with Limited Field-of-view Computed Tomography: A Semantic Image Extension Perspective. Medical Image Analysis
Aug. 31, 2023—Kaiwen Xu, Thomas Li, Mirza S. Khan, Riqiang Gao, Sanja L. Antic, Yuankai Huo, Kim L. Sandler, Fabien Maldonado, Bennett A. Landman Paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1361841523001123 Code: https://github.com/MASILab/S-EFOV Abstract Field-of-view (FOV) tissue truncation beyond the lungs is common in routine lung screening computed tomography (CT). This poses limitations for opportunistic CT-based body composition (BC) assessment as key anatomical structures...
