Full convolutional network based multiple side-output fusion architecture for the segmentation of rectal tumors in magnetic resonance images: A multi-vendor study.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Accurate segmentation of rectal tumors is a basic and crucial task for diagnosis and treatment of rectal cancer. To avoid tedious manual delineation, an automatic rectal tumor segmentation model is proposed.

Attention-aware fully convolutional neural network with convolutional long short-term memory network for ultrasound-based motion tracking.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: One of the promising options for motion management in radiation therapy (RT) is the use of LINAC-compatible robotic-arm-mounted ultrasound imaging system due to its high soft tissue contrast, real-time capability, absence of ionizing radiati...

Temporal stability assessment in shear wave elasticity images validated by deep learning neural network for chronic liver disease fibrosis stage assessment.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To automatically detect and isolate areas of low and high stiffness temporal stability in shear wave elastography (SWE) image sequences and define their impact in chronic liver disease (CLD) diagnosis improvement by means of clinical examina...

A deep learning framework for automatic detection of arbitrarily shaped fiducial markers in intrafraction fluoroscopic images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Real-time image-guided adaptive radiation therapy (IGART) requires accurate marker segmentation to resolve three-dimensional (3D) motion based on two-dimensional (2D) fluoroscopic images. Most common marker segmentation methods require prior...

Dense networks with relative location awareness for thorax disease identification.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Chest X-ray is one of the most common examinations for diagnosing heart and lung diseases. Due to the existing of a large number of clinical cases, many automated diagnosis algorithms based on chest X-ray images have been proposed. To our kn...

Combining handcrafted features with latent variables in machine learning for prediction of radiation-induced lung damage.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: There has been burgeoning interest in applying machine learning methods for predicting radiotherapy outcomes. However, the imbalanced ratio of a large number of variables to a limited sample size in radiation oncology constitutes a major cha...

A convolutional neural network algorithm for automatic segmentation of head and neck organs at risk using deep lifelong learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: This study suggests a lifelong learning-based convolutional neural network (LL-CNN) algorithm as a superior alternative to single-task learning approaches for automatic segmentation of head and neck (OARs) organs at risk.

A deep learning- and partial least square regression-based model observer for a low-contrast lesion detection task in CT.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: This work aims to develop a new framework of image quality assessment using deep learning-based model observer (DL-MO) and to validate it in a low-contrast lesion detection task that involves CT images with patient anatomical background.

Image domain dual material decomposition for dual-energy CT using butterfly network.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Dual-energy CT (DECT) has been increasingly used in imaging applications because of its capability for material differentiation. However, material decomposition suffers from magnified noise from two CT images of independent scans, leading to...
