"sCT-Feasibility" - a feasibility study for deep learning-based MRI-only brain radiotherapy.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy (RT) is an important treatment modality for patients with brain malignancies. Traditionally, computed tomography (CT) images are used for RT treatment planning whereas magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images are used for tumo...

Generation of tissues outside the field of view (FOV) of radiation therapy simulation imaging based on machine learning and patient body outline (PBO).

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: It is not unusual to see some parts of tissues are excluded in the field of view of CT simulation images. A typical mitigation is to avoid beams entering the missing body parts at the cost of sub-optimal planning.

Comparison of deep learning networks for fully automated head and neck tumor delineation on multi-centric PET/CT images.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
OBJECTIVES: Deep learning-based auto-segmentation of head and neck cancer (HNC) tumors is expected to have better reproducibility than manual delineation. Positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) are commonly used in tumor segm...

Towards deep-learning (DL) based fully automated target delineation for rectal cancer neoadjuvant radiotherapy using a divide-and-conquer strategy: a study with multicenter blind and randomized validation.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
PURPOSE: Manual clinical target volume (CTV) and gross tumor volume (GTV) delineation for rectal cancer neoadjuvant radiotherapy is pivotal but labor-intensive. This study aims to propose a deep learning (DL)-based workflow towards fully automated cl...

Comparison of four synthetic CT generators for brain and prostate MR-only workflow in radiotherapy.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: The interest in MR-only workflows is growing with the introduction of artificial intelligence in the synthetic CT generators converting MR images into CT images. The aim of this study was to evaluate several commercially available sCT gen...

Deep learning based automatic segmentation of organs-at-risk for 0.35 T MRgRT of lung tumors.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance imaging guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) offers treatment plan adaptation to the anatomy of the day. In the current MRgRT workflow, this requires the time consuming and repetitive task of manual delineation of or...

Integrating plan complexity and dosiomics features with deep learning in patient-specific quality assurance for volumetric modulated arc therapy.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
PURPOSE: To investigate the feasibility and performance of deep learning (DL) models combined with plan complexity (PC) and dosiomics features in the patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) for patients underwent volumetric modulated arc therapy (V...

Improving accelerated 3D imaging in MRI-guided radiotherapy for prostate cancer using a deep learning method.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
PURPOSE: This study was to improve image quality for high-speed MR imaging using a deep learning method for online adaptive radiotherapy in prostate cancer. We then evaluated its benefits on image registration.

Deep learning for segmentation of the cervical cancer gross tumor volume on magnetic resonance imaging for brachytherapy.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Segmentation of the Gross Tumor Volume (GTV) is a crucial step in the brachytherapy (BT) treatment planning workflow. Currently, radiation oncologists segment the GTV manually, which is time-consuming. The time pressure is particularly cr...

Neural network and spline-based regression for the prediction of salivary hypofunction in patients undergoing radiation therapy.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: This study leverages a large retrospective cohort of head and neck cancer patients in order to develop machine learning models to predict radiation induced hyposalivation from dose-volume histograms of the parotid glands.
