Deep learning-based segmentation for high-dose-rate brachytherapy in cervical cancer using 3D Prompt-ResUNet.

Physics in medicine and biology
To develop and evaluate a 3D Prompt-ResUNet module that utilized the prompt-based model combined with 3D nnUNet for rapid and consistent autosegmentation of high-risk clinical target volume (HRCTV) and organ at risk (OAR) in high-dose-rate brachyther...

Attention 3D UNET for dose distribution prediction of high-dose-rate brachytherapy of cervical cancer: Intracavitary applicators.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: Formulating a clinically acceptable plan within the time-constrained clinical setting of brachytherapy poses challenges to clinicians. Deep learning based dose prediction methods have shown favorable solutions for enhancing efficiency, bu...

Automatic plan selection using deep network-A prostate study.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Recently, high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy treatment plans generation was improved with the development of multicriteria optimization (MCO) algorithms that can generate thousands of pareto optimal plans within seconds. This brings a shi...

Towards U-Net-based intraoperative 2D dose prediction in high dose rate prostate brachytherapy.

Brachytherapy
BACKGROUND: Poor needle placement in prostate high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) results in sub-optimal dosimetry and mentally predicting these effects during HDR-BT is difficult, creating a barrier to widespread availability of high-quality prost...

Current availability of radiotherapy devices in Peru and artificial intelligence-based analysis for constructing a nationwide implementation plan.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
PURPOSE: We provide for the first time a comprehensive situational diagnosis and propose an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted nationwide plan of implementation, attending the most urgent needs.

Clinical Application of Deep Learning-Assisted Needles Reconstruction in Prostate Ultrasound Brachytherapy.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: High dose rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy (BT) procedure requires image-guided needle insertion. Given that general anesthesia is often employed during the procedure, minimizing overall planning time is crucial. In this study, we explore t...

A deep learning model based on Mamba for automatic segmentation in cervical cancer brachytherapy.

Scientific reports
This study developed and evaluated an automatic segmentation model based on the Mamba framework (AM-UNet) for rapid and precise delineation of high-risk clinical target volume (HRCTV) and organs at risk (OARs) in cervical cancer brachytherapy. Using ...

Clinically applicable semi-supervised learning framework for multiple organs at risk and tumor delineation in lung cancer brachytherapy.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: The generalization ability of deep learning-based automatic segmentation techniques for lung cancer in practical clinical applications remains under-validated. We reported an investigation that validated a robust semi-supervised conditional ...

Advancing patient care: Machine learning models for predicting grade 3+ toxicities in gynecologic cancer patients treated with HDR brachytherapy.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Gynecological cancers are among the most prevalent cancers in women worldwide. Brachytherapy, often used as a boost to external beam radiotherapy, is integral to treatment. Advances in computation, algorithms, and data availability have p...

A customizable P hydrogel applicator for brachytherapy of skin hemangioma based on machine learning and 3D-printing.

Journal of materials chemistry. B
Skin hemangioma is a tumor originating from skin blood vessels, which often occurs in infants and children. Brachytherapy with the P-based radionuclide applicator is an effective non-invasive therapeutic method. However, the inordinance of lesions is...
