A hybrid optimization strategy for deliverable intensity-modulated radiotherapy plan generation using deep learning-based dose prediction.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To propose a clinically feasible automatic planning solution for external beam intensity-modulated radiotherapy, including dose prediction via a deep learning and voxel-based optimization strategy.

General and custom deep learning autosegmentation models for organs in head and neck, abdomen, and male pelvis.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To reduce workload and inconsistencies in organ segmentation for radiation treatment planning, we developed and evaluated general and custom autosegmentation models on computed tomography (CT) for three major tumor sites using a well-establi...

Deep learning-based AI model for signet-ring cell carcinoma diagnosis and chemotherapy response prediction in gastric cancer.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: We aimed to develop a noninvasive artificial intelligence (AI) model to diagnose signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) of gastric cancer (GC) and identify patients with SRCC who could benefit from postoperative chemotherapy based on preoperative...

Site-agnostic 3D dose distribution prediction with deep learning neural networks.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Typically, the current dose prediction models are limited to small amounts of data and require retraining for a specific site, often leading to suboptimal performance. We propose a site-agnostic, three-dimensional dose distribution predictio...

Multiresolution residual deep neural network for improving pelvic CBCT image quality.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is frequently used for accurate image-guided radiation therapy. However, the poor CBCT image quality prevents its further clinical use. Thus, it is important to improve the HU accuracy and structure prese...

Development of a deep learning-based patient-specific target contour prediction model for markerless tumor positioning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: For pancreatic cancer patients, image guided radiation therapy and real-time tumor tracking (RTTT) techniques can deliver radiation to the target accurately. Currently, for the radiation therapy machine with kV X-ray imaging systems, interna...

Quantification of uptake in pelvis F-18 FLT PET-CT images using a 3D localization and segmentation CNN.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The purpose of this work was to develop and validate a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) approach for the automated pelvis segmentation in computed tomography (CT) scans to enable the quantification of active pelvic bone marrow by mean...

Performance of a deep learning-based CT image denoising method: Generalizability over dose, reconstruction kernel, and slice thickness.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Deep learning (DL) is rapidly finding applications in low-dose CT image denoising. While having the potential to improve the image quality (IQ) over the filtered back projection method (FBP) and produce images quickly, performance generaliza...

Edge-enhancement densenet for X-ray fluoroscopy image denoising in cardiac electrophysiology procedures.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Reducing X-ray dose increases safety in cardiac electrophysiology procedures but also increases image noise and artifacts which may affect the discernibility of devices and anatomical cues. Previous denoising methods based on convolutional n...

TransDIR: Deformable imaging registration network based on transformer to improve the feature extraction ability.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Imaging registration has a significant contribution to guide and support physicians in the process of decision-making for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. However, existing registration methods based on the convolutional neural network c...
