BACKGROUND: Deformable Image Registration (DIR) is an essential technique required in many applications of radiation oncology. However, conventional DIR approaches typically take several minutes to register one pair of 3D CT images and the resulting ...
BACKGROUND: Deep learning auto-segmentation (DLAS) models have been adopted in the clinic; however, they suffer from performance deterioration owing to the clinical practice variability. Some commercial DLAS software provide an incremental retraining...
PURPOSE: Delineation of the clinical target volume (CTV) and organs-at-risk (OARs) is important in cervical cancer radiotherapy. But it is generally labor-intensive, time-consuming, and subjective. This paper proposes a parallel-path attention fusion...
BACKGROUND: A classic approach in medical image registration is to formulate an optimization problem based on the image pair of interest, and seek a deformation vector field (DVF) to minimize the corresponding objective, often iteratively. It has a c...
BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy (RT) is involved in about 50% of all cancer patients, making it a very important treatment modality. The most common type of RT is external beam RT, which consists of delivering the radiation to the tumor from outside the bod...
BACKGROUND: In cancer care, determining the most beneficial treatment technique is a key decision affecting the patient's survival and quality of life. Patient selection for proton therapy (PT) over conventional radiotherapy (XT) currently entails co...
BACKGROUND: Clinical data used to train deep learning models are often not clean data. They can contain imperfections in both the imaging data and the corresponding segmentations.
BACKGROUND: Developing computer aided diagnosis (CAD) schemes of mammograms to classify between malignant and benign breast lesions has attracted a lot of research attention over the last several decades. However, unlike radiologists who make diagnos...
BACKGROUND: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown promising results in image denoising tasks. While most existing CNN-based methods depend on supervised learning by directly mapping noisy inputs to clean targets, high-quality references are...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence-based methods have generated substantial interest in nuclear medicine. An area of significant interest has been the use of deep-learning (DL)-based approaches for denoising images acquired with lower doses, shorter...
