Technical Note: Dose prediction for radiation therapy using feature-based losses and One Cycle Learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To present the technical details of the runner-up model in the open knowledge-based planning (OpenKBP) challenge for the dose-volume histogram (DVH) stream. The model was designed to ensure simple and reproducible training, without the neces...

Densely connected U-Net retinal vessel segmentation algorithm based on multi-scale feature convolution extraction.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The segmentation results of retinal blood vessels have a significant impact on the automatic diagnosis of various ophthalmic diseases. In order to further improve the segmentation accuracy of retinal vessels, we propose an improved algorithm...

Deep learning-based multi-modal computing with feature disentanglement for MRI image synthesis.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Different Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modalities of the same anatomical structure are required to present different pathological information from the physical level for diagnostic needs. However, it is often difficult to obtain full-seq...

Deep learning-based coronary artery motion estimation and compensation for short-scan cardiac CT.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: During a typical cardiac short scan, the heart can move several millimeters. As a result, the corresponding CT reconstructions may be corrupted by motion artifacts. Especially the assessment of small structures, such as the coronary arteries...

Deep cross-modality (MR-CT) educed distillation learning for cone beam CT lung tumor segmentation.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Despite the widespread availability of in-treatment room cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging, due to the lack of reliable segmentation methods, CBCT is only used for gross set up corrections in lung radiotherapies. Accurate and reli...

A deep learning-based model for characterization of atherosclerotic plaque in coronary arteries using optical coherence tomography  images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Coronary artery events are mainly associated with atherosclerosis in adult population, which is recognized as accumulation of plaques in arterial wall tissues. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a light-based imaging system used in cardio...

Automatic clinical target volume delineation for cervical cancer in CT images using deep learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Accurately delineating clinical target volumes (CTV) is essential for completing radiotherapy plans but is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to inter-observer variation. Automating CTV delineation has the benefits of both speeding u...

Automated delineation of orbital abscess depicted on CT scan using deep learning.

Medical physics
OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate a deep learning algorithm to automatically detect and segment an orbital abscess depicted on computed tomography (CT).

Deep-learning-based image registration and automatic segmentation of organs-at-risk in cone-beam CT scans from high-dose radiation treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Accurate deformable registration between computed tomography (CT) and cone-beam CT (CBCT) images of pancreatic cancer patients treated with high biologically effective radiation doses is essential to assess changes in organ-at-risk (OAR) loc...

Male pelvic multi-organ segmentation on transrectal ultrasound using anchor-free mask CNN.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Current prostate brachytherapy uses transrectal ultrasound images for implant guidance, where contours of the prostate and organs-at-risk are necessary for treatment planning and dose evaluation. This work aims to develop a deep learning-bas...
