Fast segmentation of kidney components using random forests and ferns.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: This paper studies the feasibility of developing a fast and accurate automatic kidney component segmentation method. The proposed method segments the kidney into four components: renal cortex, renal column, renal medulla, and renal pelvis.

Neural network dose models for knowledge-based planning in pancreatic SBRT.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for pancreatic cancer requires a skillful approach to deliver ablative doses to the tumor while limiting dose to the highly sensitive duodenum, stomach, and small bowel. Here, we develop knowledge-b...

Automatic segmentation of the clinical target volume and organs at risk in the planning CT for rectal cancer using deep dilated convolutional neural networks.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Delineation of the clinical target volume (CTV) and organs at risk (OARs) is very important for radiotherapy but is time-consuming and prone to inter-observer variation. Here, we proposed a novel deep dilated convolutional neural network (DD...

Automatic labeling of MR brain images through extensible learning and atlas forests.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Multiatlas-based method is extensively used in MR brain images segmentation because of its simplicity and robustness. This method provides excellent accuracy although it is time consuming and limited in terms of obtaining information about n...

A parallel MR imaging method using multilayer perceptron.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To reconstruct MR images from subsampled data, we propose a fast reconstruction method using the multilayer perceptron (MLP) algorithm.

Esophagus segmentation in CT via 3D fully convolutional neural network and random walk.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Precise delineation of organs at risk is a crucial task in radiotherapy treatment planning for delivering high doses to the tumor while sparing healthy tissues. In recent years, automated segmentation methods have shown an increasingly high ...

Learning-based deformable registration for infant MRI by integrating random forest with auto-context model.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Accurately analyzing the rapid structural evolution of human brain in the first year of life is a key step in early brain development studies, which requires accurate deformable image registration. However, due to (a) dynamic appearance and ...

A combined learning algorithm for prostate segmentation on 3D CT images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Segmentation of the prostate on CT images has many applications in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. Because of the low soft-tissue contrast on CT images, prostate segmentation is a challenging task. A learning-based segmentati...

Urinary bladder cancer staging in CT urography using machine learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility of using an objective computer-aided system to assess bladder cancer stage in CT Urography (CTU).

Fully automatic, multiorgan segmentation in normal whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), using classification forests (CFs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and a multi-atlas (MA) approach.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: As part of a program to implement automatic lesion detection methods for whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in oncology, we have developed, evaluated, and compared three algorithms for fully automatic, multiorgan segmentation in hea...
