Closing the gap in plan quality: Leveraging deep-learning dose prediction for adaptive radiotherapy.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Balancing quality and efficiency has been a challenge for online adaptive therapy. Most systems start the online re-optimization with the original planning goals. While some systems allow planners to modify the planning goals, achieving a hi...

Enhanced dose prediction for head and neck cancer artificial intelligence-driven radiotherapy based on transfer learning with limited training data.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Training deep learning dose prediction models for the latest cutting-edge radiotherapy techniques, such as AI-based nodal radiotherapy (AINRT) and Daily Adaptive AI-based nodal radiotherapy (DA-AINRT), is challenging due to limited data. Thi...

Bone-wise rigid registration of femur, tibia, and fibula for the tracking of temporal changes.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: Multiple myeloma (MM) induces temporal alterations in bone structure, such as osteolytic bone lesions, which are challenging to identify through manual image interpretation. The large variation in radiologists' assessments, even at expert...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) prediction for oropharyngeal cancer based on CT by using off-the-shelf features: A dual-dataset study.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: This study aims to develop a novel predictive model for determining human papillomavirus (HPV) presence in oropharyngeal cancer using computed tomography (CT). Current image-based HPV prediction methods are hindered by high computational ...

A knowledge-based planning model to identify fraction-reduction opportunities in brain stereotactic radiotherapy.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a HyperArc-based RapidPlan (HARP) model for three-fraction brain stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) plans to then use to replan previously treated five-fraction SRT plans. Demonstrating the possibility of reducing the ...

T2-weighted imaging of rectal cancer using a 3D fast spin echo sequence with and without deep learning reconstruction: A reader study.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: To compare image quality and clinical utility of a T2-weighted (T2W) 3-dimensional (3D) fast spin echo (FSE) sequence using deep learning reconstruction (DLR) versus conventional reconstruction for rectal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Radiation oncology at crossroads: Rise of AI and managing the unexpected.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into radiation oncology has revolutionized clinical workflows, enhancing efficiency, safety, and quality. However, this transformation comes with a price of increased complexity and the emergence of unpredicta...

Evaluation and failure analysis of four commercial deep learning-based autosegmentation software for abdominal organs at risk.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Deep learning-based segmentation of organs-at-risk (OAR) is emerging to become mainstream in clinical practice because of the superior performance over atlas and model-based autocontouring methods. While several commercial deep learning-base...

The implementation of knowledge-based planning with partial OAR contours for prostate radiotherapy.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Intra- and inter-observer contour uncertainty is a continuous challenge in treatment planning for radiotherapy. Our proposed solution to address this challenge is the use of partial contours for treatment planning, focusing on uninvolved or ...

Evaluation of AI-based auto-contouring tools in radiotherapy: A single-institution study.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: Accurate delineation of organs at risk (OARs) is crucial yet time-consuming in the radiotherapy treatment planning workflow. Modern artificial intelligence (AI) technologies had made automation of OAR contouring feasible. This report deta...
