Automatic Segmentation of the Prostate on CT Images Using Deep Neural Networks (DNN).

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Recent advances in deep neural networks (DNNs) have unlocked opportunities for their application for automatic image segmentation. We have evaluated a DNN-based algorithm for automatic segmentation of the prostate gland on a large cohort of ...

Deep Learning-Based Delineation of Head and Neck Organs at Risk: Geometric and Dosimetric Evaluation.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Organ-at-risk (OAR) delineation is a key step in treatment planning but can be time consuming, resource intensive, subject to variability, and dependent on anatomical knowledge. We studied deep learning (DL) for automated delineation of mult...

Knowledge-Based Planning for Identifying High-Risk Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy Treatment Plans for Lung Tumors Larger Than 5 cm.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SABR) for lung tumors ≥5 cm can be associated with more toxicity than that for smaller tumors. We investigated the relationship between dosimetry and toxicity and used a knowledge-based planning ...

Development of a Ready-to-Use Graphical Tool Based on Artificial Neural Network Classification: Application for the Prediction of Late Fecal Incontinence After Prostate Cancer Radiation Therapy.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: This study was designed to apply artificial neural network (ANN) classification methods for the prediction of late fecal incontinence (LFI) after high-dose prostate cancer radiation therapy and to develop a ready-to-use graphical tool.

MR-Only Brain Radiation Therapy: Dosimetric Evaluation of Synthetic CTs Generated by a Dilated Convolutional Neural Network.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: This work aims to facilitate a fast magnetic resonance (MR)-only workflow for radiation therapy of intracranial tumors. Here, we evaluate whether synthetic computed tomography (sCT) images generated with a dilated convolutional neural networ...

Distinguishing True Progression From Radionecrosis After Stereotactic Radiation Therapy for Brain Metastases With Machine Learning and Radiomics.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Treatment effect or radiation necrosis after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for brain metastases is a common phenomenon often indistinguishable from true progression. Radiomics is an emerging field that promises to improve on conventional i...

Salvage HDR Brachytherapy: Multiple Hypothesis Testing Versus Machine Learning Analysis.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Salvage high-dose-rate brachytherapy (sHDRB) is a treatment option for recurrences after prior radiation therapy. However, only approximately 50% of patients benefit, with the majority of second recurrences after salvage brachytherapy occurr...
