A comparative study of deep learning-based knowledge-based planning methods for 3D dose distribution prediction of head and neck.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: In this paper, we compare four novel knowledge-based planning (KBP) algorithms using deep learning to predict three-dimensional (3D) dose distributions of head and neck plans using the same patients' dataset and quantitative assessment metri...

Lumbar spine segmentation method based on deep learning.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
Aiming at the difficulties of lumbar vertebrae segmentation in computed tomography (CT) images, we propose an automatic lumbar vertebrae segmentation method based on deep learning. The method mainly includes two parts: lumbar vertebra positioning and...

Acquisition time reduction in pediatric Tc-DMSA planar imaging using deep learning.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Given the potential risk of motion artifacts, acquisition time reduction is desirable in pediatric Tc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of predicted full-acquisition-time imag...

Hepatic vessels segmentation using deep learning and preprocessing enhancement.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Liver hepatic vessels segmentation is a crucial step for the diagnosis process in patients with hepatic diseases. Segmentation of liver vessels helps to study the liver internal segmental anatomy that helps in the preoperative planning of su...

Geometric and dosimetric evaluation of deep learning based auto-segmentation for clinical target volume on breast cancer.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: Recently, target auto-segmentation techniques based on deep learning (DL) have shown promising results. However, inaccurate target delineation will directly affect the treatment planning dose distribution and the effect of subsequent radi...

TrDosePred: A deep learning dose prediction algorithm based on transformers for head and neck cancer radiotherapy.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) has been the standard of care for many types of tumors. However, treatment planning for IMRT is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process.
