Quantitative Image Reconstruction Methods for Low Signal-To-Noise Ratio Emission Tomography
(2020)
Novel internal radionuclide therapies such as radioembolization (RE) with Y-90 loaded microspheres and targeted therapies labeled with Lu-177 offer a unique promise for personalized treatment of cancer because imaging-based ...
Advances in Quantitative MRI: Acquisition, Estimation, and Application
(2018)
Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (QMRI) produces images of potential MR biomarkers: measurable tissue properties related to physiological processes that characterize the onset and progression of specific disorders. ...
Isolation and Characterization of Circulating Biomarkers to Predict Patient Outcomes in Late-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
(2021)
This work hypothesizes that the molecular characterization of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and circulating tumor cells (CTCs), biomarkers found in peripheral blood draws, can be used to monitor, and predict, treatment ...
Ultrasound-triggered Drug Delivery Using Acoustic Droplet Vaporization.
(2010)
The goal of targeted drug delivery is the spatial and temporal localization of a therapeutic agent and its associated bioeffects. One method of drug localization is acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV), whereby drug-laden ...
Image Guided Respiratory Motion Analysis: Time Series and Image Registration.
(2008)
The efficacy of Image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) systems relies on accurately extracting, modeling and predicting tumor movement with imaging techniques. This thesis
investigates two key problems associated with such ...
Advancing Clinical Outcome Prediction through Innovative Multimodal and Domain-Generalized AI that Accommodates Limited Data
(2024)
Clinical decision support systems are computer-based systems developed with the goal of assisting health care providers in arduous clinical tasks or improving decision-making. In routine clinical care, medical practices ...
