STRUCTURAL AND METABOLIC MRI TO CHARACTERIZE THE RESPONSE TO SURGERY IN TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA
DownloadSpring 2023
Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) is a chronic, neuropathic, facial pain condition characterized by severe unilateral pain attacks, electric shock-like or shooting in character, confined to regions of the face innervated by the trigeminal nerve (the fifth cranial nerve, CNV). TN is commonly associated...

Time Domain Principal Component Analysis for Rapid, Real-Time 2D MRI Reconstruction from Undersampled Data
DownloadSpring 2022
Hybrid Linac-MR systems are becoming more mainstream for use in external beam radiotherapy treatments for cancer patients. The addition of an MR scanner to a linear accelerator (Linac) can allow for real-time structure tracking (such as a tumour) and on-the-fly adjustments of the radiation beam....

V-CoHOG: Volumetric Co-occurrence Histograms of Oriented Gradients for Texture Classification in Medical Imaging
DownloadFall 2022
Image textures, which are properties that can describe the pixel intensities of an image, have been analyzed in order to perform a variety of tasks, including segmentation and classification. Features derived from textures which are invariant to changes such as contrast and transformations are of...
