PET imaging is an important tool in clinical diagnostics, especially in oncology as it is able to visualize ongoing metabolic processes, e.g. caused by a tumor. Due to the low spatial resolution, a corresponding CT or MRI scan is normally necessary to gain knowledge about the physiological structure…
Combined PET-CT scan is an important diagnostic tool in modern medicine, e.g. for staging or treatment planning in the field of oncology. Especially in small structures, like a tumour, textural variations visible in a PET image are not visually recognizable within a CT scan from the same region. Thu…
Magnetic resonance (MR) plays an important role in medical imaging. It can be flexibly tuned towards different applications for deriving a meaningful diagnosis. However, its long acquisition times and flexible parametrization make it on the other hand prone to artifacts which obscure the underlying…
In medical imaging, the acquired images are usually analyzed by a human observer and rated with respect to a diagnostic question. However, this procedure is time-demanding and expensive. Further more, the lack of a reference image makes this task challenging. In order to support the human observer i…
