Dead detector element detection in flat panels using convolutional neural networks.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Independent testing of image quality metrics is important to provide an unbiased determination of medical imaging performance. Due to the underreporting by vendors of dead detector elements, which are elements that do not function but may...

Technical note: Phantom-based training framework for convolutional neural network CT noise reduction.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Deep artificial neural networks such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been shown to be effective models for reducing noise in CT images while preserving anatomic details. A practical bottleneck for developing CNN-based denoisi...

Deep learning-based internal gross target volume definition in 4D CT images of lung cancer patients.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Contouring of internal gross target volume (iGTV) is an essential part of treatment planning in radiotherapy to mitigate the impact of intra-fractional target motion. However, it is usually time-consuming and easily subjected to intra-obs...

Explainability and controllability of patient-specific deep learning with attention-based augmentation for markerless image-guided radiotherapy.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: We reported the concept of patient-specific deep learning (DL) for real-time markerless tumor segmentation in image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). The method was aimed to control the attention of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) by artif...

Seq2Morph: A deep learning deformable image registration algorithm for longitudinal imaging studies and adaptive radiotherapy.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To simultaneously register all the longitudinal images acquired in a radiotherapy course for analyzing patients' anatomy changes for adaptive radiotherapy (ART).

Patient-specific transfer learning for auto-segmentation in adaptive 0.35 T MRgRT of prostate cancer: a bi-centric evaluation.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Online adaptive radiation therapy (RT) using hybrid magnetic resonance linear accelerators (MR-Linacs) can administer a tailored radiation dose at each treatment fraction. Daily MR imaging followed by organ and target segmentation adjustm...

Multi-scale, domain knowledge-guided attention + random forest: a two-stage deep learning-based multi-scale guided attention models to diagnose idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis from computed tomography images.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, irreversible, and usually fatal lung disease of unknown reasons, generally affecting the elderly population. Early diagnosis of IPF is crucial for triaging patients' treatment planning...

Technical note: A method to synthesize magnetic resonance images in different patient rotation angles with deep learning for gantry-free radiotherapy.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Recently, patient rotating devices for gantry-free radiotherapy, a new approach to implement external beam radiotherapy, have been introduced. When a patient is rotated in the horizontal position, gravity causes anatomic deformation. For ...

Efficient dose-volume histogram-based pretreatment patient-specific quality assurance methodology with combined deep learning and machine learning models for volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Weak correlation between gamma passing rates and dose differences in target volumes and organs at risk (OARs) has been reported in several studies. Evaluation on the differences between planned dose-volume histogram (DVH) and reconstructe...
