Deep-learning based fast and accurate 3D CT deformable image registration in lung cancer.

Medical physics
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 ...

Incremental retraining, clinical implementation, and acceptance rate of deep learning auto-segmentation for male pelvis in a multiuser environment.

Medical physics
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...

Delineation of clinical target volume and organs at risk in cervical cancer radiotherapy by deep learning networks.

Medical physics
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...

Target-oriented deep learning-based image registration with individualized test-time adaptation.

Medical physics
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...

Deep learning-based markerless lung tumor tracking in stereotactic radiotherapy using Siamese networks.

Medical physics
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...

Patient selection for proton therapy using Normal Tissue Complication Probability with deep learning dose prediction for oropharyngeal cancer.

Medical physics
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...

Impact of imperfection in medical imaging data on deep learning-based segmentation performance: An experimental study using synthesized data.

Medical physics
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.

A multi-stage fusion framework to classify breast lesions using deep learning and radiomics features computed from four-view mammograms.

Medical physics
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...

Self-supervised denoising of projection data for low-dose cone-beam CT.

Medical physics
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...

Need for objective task-based evaluation of deep learning-based denoising methods: A study in the context of myocardial perfusion SPECT.

Medical physics
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...
