Attention Guided Lymph Node Malignancy Prediction in Head and Neck Cancer.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Accurate lymph node (LN) malignancy classification is essential for treatment target identification in head and neck cancer (HNC) radiation therapy. Given the constraints imposed by relatively small sample sizes in real-world medical applica...

Clinical Natural Language Processing for Radiation Oncology: A Review and Practical Primer.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
Natural language processing (NLP), which aims to convert human language into expressions that can be analyzed by computers, is one of the most rapidly developing and widely used technologies in the field of artificial intelligence. Natural language p...

Integrating Multiomics Information in Deep Learning Architectures for Joint Actuarial Outcome Prediction in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients After Radiation Therapy.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Novel actuarial deep learning neural network (ADNN) architectures are proposed for joint prediction of radiation therapy outcomes-radiation pneumonitis (RP) and local control (LC)-in stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Unl...

Using Auto-Segmentation to Reduce Contouring and Dose Inconsistency in Clinical Trials: The Simulated Impact on RTOG 0617.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Contouring inconsistencies are known but understudied in clinical radiation therapy trials. We applied auto-contouring to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 0617 dose escalation trial data. We hypothesized that the trial heart doses...

Use of Receiver Operating Curve Analysis and Machine Learning With an Independent Dose Calculation System Reduces the Number of Physical Dose Measurements Required for Patient-Specific Quality Assurance.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Our purpose was to assess the use of machine learning methods and Mobius 3D (M3D) dose calculation software to reduce the number of physical ion chamber (IC) dose measurements required for patient-specific quality assurance during corona vir...

Automatic Segmentation Using Deep Learning to Enable Online Dose Optimization During Adaptive Radiation Therapy of Cervical Cancer.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: This study investigated deep learning models for automatic segmentation to support the development of daily online dose optimization strategies, eliminating the need for internal target volume expansions and thereby reducing toxicity events ...

Generating High-Quality Lymph Node Clinical Target Volumes for Head and Neck Cancer Radiation Therapy Using a Fully Automated Deep Learning-Based Approach.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: To develop a deep learning model that generates consistent, high-quality lymph node clinical target volumes (CTV) contours for head and neck cancer (HNC) patients, as an integral part of a fully automated radiation treatment planning workflo...

Feasibility of Multiparametric Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a One-Stop Shop for Radiation Therapy Planning for Patients with Head and Neck Cancer.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Multiparametric positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a one-stop shop for radiation therapy (RT) planning has great potential but is technically challenging. We studied the feasibility of performing multipara...

Machine Segmentation of Pelvic Anatomy in MRI-Assisted Radiosurgery (MARS) for Prostate Cancer Brachytherapy.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: To investigate machine segmentation of pelvic anatomy in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-assisted radiosurgery (MARS) for prostate cancer using prostate brachytherapy MRIs acquired with different pulse sequences and image contrasts.

Developing an Improved Statistical Approach for Survival Estimation in Bone Metastases Management: The Bone Metastases Ensemble Trees for Survival (BMETS) Model.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: To determine whether a machine learning approach optimizes survival estimation for patients with symptomatic bone metastases (SBM), we developed the Bone Metastases Ensemble Trees for Survival (BMETS) to predict survival using 27 prognostic ...
