A multiple-channel and atrous convolution network for ultrasound image segmentation.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Ultrasound image segmentation is a challenging task due to a low signal-to-noise ratio and poor image quality. Although several approaches based on the convolutional neural network (CNN) have been applied to ultrasound image segmentation, th...

Self-contained deep learning-based boosting of 4D cone-beam CT reconstruction.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Four-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography (4D CBCT) imaging has been suggested as a solution to account for interfraction motion variability of moving targets like lung and liver during radiotherapy (RT) of moving targets. However, due ...

A deep learning model to predict dose-volume histograms of organs at risk in radiotherapy treatment plans.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop a deep learning-based model to predict achievable dose-volume histograms (DVHs) of organs at risk (OARs) for automation of inverse planning.

Improving the slice interaction of 2.5D CNN for automatic pancreas segmentation.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Volumetric pancreas segmentation can be used in the diagnosis of pancreatic diseases, the research about diabetes and surgical planning. Since manual delineation is time-consuming and laborious, we develop a deep learning-based framework for...

The delineation of largely deformed brain midline using regression-based line detection network.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The human brain has two cerebral hemispheres that are roughly symmetric and separated by a midline, which is nearly a straight line shown in axial computed tomography (CT) images in healthy subjects. However, brain diseases such as hematoma ...

Automatic segmentation, classification, and follow-up of optic pathway gliomas using deep learning and fuzzy c-means clustering based on MRI.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Optic pathway gliomas (OPG) are low-grade pilocytic astrocytomas accounting for 3-5% of pediatric intracranial tumors. Accurate and quantitative follow-up of OPG using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial for therapeutic decision maki...

Complete abdomen and pelvis segmentation using U-net variant architecture.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Organ segmentation of computed tomography (CT) imaging is essential for radiotherapy treatment planning. Treatment planning requires segmentation not only of the affected tissue, but nearby healthy organs-at-risk, which is laborious and time...

Technical Note: Automatic segmentation of CT images for ventral body composition analysis.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Body composition is known to be associated with many diseases including diabetes, cancers, and cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, we developed a fully automatic body tissue decomposition procedure to segment three major compartments tha...

Evaluation of a multiview architecture for automatic vertebral labeling of palliative radiotherapy simulation CT images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The purpose of this work was to evaluate the performance of X-Net, a multiview deep learning architecture, to automatically label vertebral levels (S2-C1) in palliative radiotherapy simulation CT scans.

Comparison of iterative parametric and indirect deep learning-based reconstruction methods in highly undersampled DCE-MR Imaging of the breast.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To compare the performance of iterative direct and indirect parametric reconstruction methods with indirect deep learning-based reconstruction methods in estimating tracer-kinetic parameters from highly undersampled DCE-MR Imaging breast dat...
