Deep learning-based statistical robustness evaluation of intensity-modulated proton therapy for head and neck cancer.

Physics in medicine and biology
. Previous methods for robustness evaluation rely on dose calculation for a number of uncertainty scenarios, which either fails to provide statistical meaning when the number is too small (e.g., ∼8) or becomes unfeasible in daily clinical practice wh...

Deep learning method with integrated invertible wavelet scattering for improving the quality ofcardiac DTI.

Physics in medicine and biology
Respiratory motion, cardiac motion and inherently low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are major limitations ofcardiac diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). We propose a novel enhancement method that uses unsupervised learning based invertible wavelet scatterin...

Robotic MR-guided high dose rate brachytherapy needle implantation in the prostate (ROBiNSon)-a proof-of-concept study.

Physics in medicine and biology
A robotic needle implant device for MR-guided high-dose-rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy was developed. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and spatial accuracy of HDR brachytherapy using the robotic device, for a single intraprostatic target...

Self-normalization for a 1 mmresolution clinical PET system using deep learning.

Physics in medicine and biology
This work proposes, for the first time, an image-based end-to-end self-normalization framework for positron emission tomography (PET) using conditional generative adversarial networks (cGANs).We evaluated different approaches by exploring each of the...

Hierarchical multi-level dynamic hyperparameter deformable image registration with convolutional neural network.

Physics in medicine and biology
. To enable the registration network to be trained only once, achieving fast regularization hyperparameter selection during the inference phase, and to improve registration accuracy and deformation field regularity.. Hyperparameter tuning is an essen...

A deep-learning-based surrogate model for Monte-Carlo simulations of the linear energy transfer in primary brain tumor patients treated with proton-beam radiotherapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
This study explores the use of neural networks (NNs) as surrogate models for Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations in predicting the dose-averaged linear energy transfer (LET) of protons in proton-beam therapy based on the planned dose distribution and patien...

Linear diffusion noise boosted deep image prior for unsupervised sparse-view CT reconstruction.

Physics in medicine and biology
Deep learning has markedly enhanced the performance of sparse-view computed tomography reconstruction. However, the dependence of these methods on supervised training using high-quality paired datasets, and the necessity for retraining under varied p...

Enhancing the reliability of deep learning-based head and neck tumour segmentation using uncertainty estimation with multi-modal images.

Physics in medicine and biology
Deep learning shows promise in autosegmentation of head and neck cancer (HNC) primary tumours (GTV-T) and nodal metastases (GTV-N). However, errors such as including non-tumour regions or missing nodal metastases still occur. Conventional methods oft...

MSRA-Net: multi-channel semantic-aware and residual attention mechanism network for unsupervised 3D image registration.

Physics in medicine and biology
. Convolutional neural network (CNN) is developing rapidly in the field of medical image registration, and the proposed U-Net further improves the precision of registration. However, this method may discard certain important information in the proces...

Holistic evaluation of a machine learning-based timing calibration for PET detectors under varying data sparsity.

Physics in medicine and biology
Modern PET scanners offer precise TOF information, improving the SNR of the reconstructed images. Timing calibrations are performed to reduce the worsening effects of the system components and provide valuable TOF information. Traditional calibration...
