Evaluation of deep learning based dose prediction in head and neck cancer patients using two different types of input contours.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: This study evaluates deep learning (DL) based dose prediction methods in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients using two types of input contours.

Automated confidence estimation in deep learning auto-segmentation for brain organs at risk on MRI for radiotherapy.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: We have built a novel AI-driven QA method called AutoConfidence (ACo), to estimate segmentation confidence on a per-voxel basis without gold standard segmentations, enabling robust, efficient review of automated segmentation (AS). We have de...

Artificial intelligence-based motion tracking in cancer radiotherapy: A review.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
Radiotherapy aims to deliver a prescribed dose to the tumor while sparing neighboring organs at risk (OARs). Increasingly complex treatment techniques such as volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), stereotactic body...

Dual-branch Transformer for semi-supervised medical image segmentation.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: In recent years, the use of deep learning for medical image segmentation has become a popular trend, but its development also faces some challenges. Firstly, due to the specialized nature of medical data, precise annotation is time-consuming...

Deep learning based clinical target volumes contouring for prostate cancer: Easy and efficient application.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy has been crucial in prostate cancer treatment. However, manual segmentation is labor intensive and highly variable among radiation oncologists. In this study, a deep learning based automated contouring model is constructed fo...

A quantitative analysis of the improvement provided by comprehensive annotation on CT lesion detection using deep learning.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: Data collected from hospitals are usually partially annotated by radiologists due to time constraints. Developing and evaluating deep learning models on these data may result in over or under estimation PURPOSE: We aimed to quantitatively...

Machine learning-based estimation of patient body weight from radiation dose metrics in computed tomography.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Currently, precise patient body weight (BW) at the time of diagnostic imaging cannot always be used for radiation dose management. Various methods have been explored to address this issue, including the application of deep learning to medica...

From plan to delivery: Machine learning based positional accuracy prediction of multi-leaf collimator and estimation of delivery effect in volumetric modulated arc therapy.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: The positional accuracy of MLC is an important element in establishing the exact dosimetry in VMAT. We comprehensively analyzed factors that may affect MLC positional accuracy in VMAT, and constructed a model to predict MLC positional deviat...
