Thyroid nodules risk stratification through deep learning based on ultrasound images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Clinically, the risk stratification of thyroid nodules is usually used to formulate the next treatment plan. The American College of Radiology (ACR) thyroid imaging reporting and data system (TI-RADS) is a type of medical standard widely use...

Evaluation of multislice inputs to convolutional neural networks for medical image segmentation.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: When using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for segmentation of organs and lesions in medical images, the conventional approach is to work with inputs and outputs either as single slice [two-dimensional (2D)] or whole volumes [three-dime...

Generating anthropomorphic phantoms using fully unsupervised deformable image registration with convolutional neural networks.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Computerized phantoms have been widely used in nuclear medicine imaging for imaging system optimization and validation. Although the existing computerized phantoms can model anatomical variations through organ and phantom scaling, they do no...

Artificial intelligence-based radiotherapy machine parameter optimization using reinforcement learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate a volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) machine parameter optimization (MPO) approach based on deep-Q reinforcement learning (RL) capable of finding an optimal machine control policy using previous prostate cancer p...

Deep-learning-based direct inversion for material decomposition.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) that can directly estimate material density distribution from multi-energy computed tomography (CT) images without performing conventional material decomposition.

Deep learning-based digitization of prostate brachytherapy needles in ultrasound images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop, and evaluate the performance of, a deep learning-based three-dimensional (3D) convolutional neural network (CNN) artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm aimed at finding needles in ultrasound images used in prostate brachytherapy.

PURPOSE: To perform an in-depth evaluation of current state of the art techniques in training neural networks to identify appropriate approaches in small datasets.

Automatic intraprostatic lesion segmentation in multiparametric magnetic resonance images with proposed multiple branch UNet.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Contouring intraprostatic lesions is a prerequisite for dose-escalating these lesions in radiotherapy to improve the local cancer control. In this study, a deep learning-based approach was developed for automatic intraprostatic lesion segmen...

Breast ultrasound lesion classification based on image decomposition and transfer learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: In medical image analysis, deep learning has great application potential. Discovering a method for extracting valuable information from medical images and integrating that information closely with medical treatment has recently become a majo...
