Lung Cancer

Non-invasively Discriminating the Pathological Subtypes of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer with Pretreatment F-FDG PET/CT Using Deep Learning.

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To develop an end-to-end deep learning (DL) model for non-invasively predicting non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) pathological subtypes based on F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) images, and to explore the potential value of DL technology.

Deep learning enables MV-based real-time image guided radiation therapy for prostate cancer patients.

. Using MV images for real-time image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is ideal as it does not require additional imaging equipment, adds no additional imaging dose and provides motion data in the treatment beam frame of reference. However, accurate tracking using MV images is challenging due to low contrast and modulated fields. Here, a novel real-time marker tracking system based on a convolution...
