Deep learning-based convolutional neural network for intramodality brain MRI synthesis.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: The existence of multicontrast magnetic resonance (MR) images increases the level of clinical information available for the diagnosis and treatment of brain cancer patients. However, acquiring the complete set of multicontrast MR images is n...

Deep-learning-assisted algorithm for catheter reconstruction during MR-only gynecological interstitial brachytherapy.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers excellent soft-tissue contrast enabling the contouring of targets and organs at risk during gynecological interstitial brachytherapy procedure. Despite its advantage, one of the main obstacles preventing a tran...

A hybrid approach based on deep learning and level set formulation for liver segmentation in CT images.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
Accurate liver segmentation is essential for radiation therapy planning of hepatocellular carcinoma and absorbed dose calculation. However, liver segmentation is a challenging task due to the anatomical variability in both shape and size and the low ...

Deep learning-based auto-segmentation of clinical target volumes for radiotherapy treatment of cervical cancer.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
OBJECTIVES: Because radiotherapy is indispensible for treating cervical cancer, it is critical to accurately and efficiently delineate the radiation targets. We evaluated a deep learning (DL)-based auto-segmentation algorithm for automatic contouring...

Deep learning-based classification and structure name standardization for organ at risk and target delineations in prostate cancer radiotherapy.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
Radiotherapy (RT) datasets can suffer from variations in annotation of organ at risk (OAR) and target structures. Annotation standards exist, but their description for prostate targets is limited. This restricts the use of such data for supervised ma...

Natural language processing and machine learning to assist radiation oncology incident learning.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop a Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) pipeline that can be integrated into an Incident Learning System (ILS) to assist radiation oncology incident learning by semi-automating incident classification. Our go...

Deformable registration of chest CT images using a 3D convolutional neural network based on unsupervised learning.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: The deformable registration of 3D chest computed tomography (CT) images is one of the most important tasks in the field of medical image registration. However, the nonlinear deformation and large-scale displacement of lung tissues caused by ...

Applications of machine and deep learning to patient-specific IMRT/VMAT quality assurance.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
In order to deliver accurate and safe treatment to cancer patients in radiation therapy using advanced techniques such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric-arc radiation therapy (VMAT), patient specific quality assurance (QA...

Automatic segmentation of rectal tumor on diffusion-weighted images by deep learning with U-Net.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Manual delineation of a rectal tumor on a volumetric image is time-consuming and subjective. Deep learning has been used to segment rectal tumors automatically on T2-weighted images, but automatic segmentation on diffusion-weighted imaging i...

A sensitivity analysis of probability maps in deep-learning-based anatomical segmentation.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Deep-learning-based segmentation models implicitly learn to predict the presence of a structure based on its overall prominence in the training dataset. This phenomenon is observed and accounted for in deep-learning applications such as natu...
