During treatment, kV images were acquired every 20-degree gantry rotation to visualize 3-4 gold fiducials within prostate to track target motion. If the fiducial center fell outside the tolerance circle (diameter = 10 mm), beam was automatically turned off for reimaging and repositioning.

Flat panels may degrade over time as an increasing number of individual detector elements begin to malfunction. The pixels that correspond to these elements are corrected for using information elsewhere in the detector system, however these corrected elements still constitute a loss in image quality for the system as a whole. These correction methods, as well as the location and number of dead detector elements, are often only available to the vendor of the digital detection system, but not to the medical physicist responsible for the quality assurance of the system.<i>Approach.</i>We greatly expand upon a previous work by providing a novel technique for classifying dead detector elements at single pixel resolution. We also demonstrate that this technique can be trained on one detector, and then tested and validated on another with moderate success, which demonstrates some ability to generalize to different detectors. The technique requires 3 flat field, or 'noise', images to be taken to predict the dead detector element maps for the system.<i>Main results.</i>Models using only for-processing pixel data were unable to successfully generalize from one detector to the other. Models preprocessed using the standard deviation across three for-processing images were able to classify dead detector element maps with an F<sub>1</sub>score ranging from 0.4527 to 0.8107 and recall ranging from 0.5420 to 0.9303 with better performance, on average, observed using the low exposure data set.<i>Significance</i>. Many physicists do not have access to the dead detector maps for their diagnostic digital radiography systems. CNNs are capable of predicting the dead detector maps of flat panel detectors with single pixel resolution. Physicists can implement this tool by acquiring three flat field images and then inputting them into the model.

The performance of the proposed NBPFCCA method is compared with the standard canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and the filter bank CCA (FBCCA). The mean frequency detection accuracy of the standard CCA is 86.21% for the benchmark dataset, and it is improved to 95.58% in the proposed method. Results indicate that the proposed method significantly outperforms the standard canonical correlation analysis with an increase of 9.37% and 17% in frequency recognition accuracy of the benchmark and in-house datasets, respectively.</p>","PeriodicalId":8896,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Physics & Engineering Express","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141305315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
