Deep learning segmentation of general interventional tools in two-dimensional ultrasound images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Many interventional procedures require the precise placement of needles or therapy applicators (tools) to correctly achieve planned targets for optimal diagnosis or treatment of cancer, typically leveraging the temporal resolution of ultraso...

Deep learning from dual-energy information for whole-heart segmentation in dual-energy and single-energy non-contrast-enhanced cardiac CT.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Deep learning-based whole-heart segmentation in coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) allows the extraction of quantitative imaging measures for cardiovascular risk prediction. Automatic extraction of these measures in patients und...

Spatial-channel relation learning for brain tumor segmentation.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Recently, research on brain tumor segmentation has made great progress. However, ambiguous patterns in magnetic resonance imaging data and linear fusion omitting semantic gaps between features in different branches remain challenging. We nee...

Comparison of CBCT-based dose calculation methods in head and neck cancer radiotherapy: from Hounsfield unit to density calibration curve to deep learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Anatomical variations occur during head and neck (H&N) radiotherapy treatment. kV cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images can be used for daily dose monitoring to assess dose variations owing to anatomic changes. Deep learning methods (D...

Technical Note: Deep Learning approach for automatic detection and identification of patient positioning devices for radiation therapy.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Automatic detection and identification of setup devices, using a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) for real-time multiclass object detection, has the potential to reduce errors in the treatment delivery process by avoiding documentatio...

Using deep learning to predict beam-tunable Pareto optimal dose distribution for intensity-modulated radiation therapy.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Many researchers have developed deep learning models for predicting clinical dose distributions and Pareto optimal dose distributions. Models for predicting Pareto optimal dose distributions have generated optimal plans in real time using an...

ADR-Net: Context extraction network based on M-Net for medical image segmentation.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Medical image segmentation is an essential component of medical image analysis. Accurate segmentation can assist doctors in diagnosis and relieve their fatigue. Although several image segmentation methods based on U-Net have been proposed, t...

Auto-segmentation of organs at risk for head and neck radiotherapy planning: From atlas-based to deep learning methods.

Medical physics
Radiotherapy (RT) is one of the basic treatment modalities for cancer of the head and neck (H&N), which requires a precise spatial description of the target volumes and organs at risk (OARs) to deliver a highly conformal radiation dose to the tumor c...

A deep learning framework for prostate localization in cone beam CT-guided radiotherapy.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop a deep learning-based model for prostate planning target volume (PTV) localization on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to improve the workflow of CBCT-guided patient setup.

Cone-beam CT-derived relative stopping power map generation via deep learning for proton radiotherapy.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: In intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT), protons are used to deliver highly conformal dose distributions, targeting tumors, and sparing organs-at-risk. However, due to uncertainties in both patient setup and relative stopping power (RSP...
