Following uveal melanoma (UM) affected treatment using ruthenium-106 brachytherapy, tumor thickness patterns fall into one of four categories: decrease (regression), increase (recurrence), stop (stable), or other, which are assessed in follow-up A-mo...
To develop an online quality control (QC) system for accurate assessment of dwell position and dwell time in high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy, and to investigate the potential of neural networks so as to improve the robustness and stability of the ...
Prostate cancer is characterized by an immunosuppressive tumour environment. This work combines Raman spectroscopy with group-and-bases-restricted non-negative matrix factorization (GBR-NMF) and machine learning to assemble models of immune cell dens...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A rule-based AI system for automated adaptive treatment planning for image guided adaptive brachytherapy (IGABT) of locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) was developed at Erasmus MC, and internally and externally validated b...

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine the best dose processing method for deep learning-based dose prediction in brachytherapy (BT), as well as to investigate the feasibility of using the inverse dose optimization algorithm to improve tr...
High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is integral to the standard-of-care for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Currently, selection of brachytherapy applicators relies on physician's clinical experience, which can lead to variability in treatmen...
OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the relationship between vaginal radiation dose and radiation-induced vaginal injury in cervical cancer patients, with the aim of developing a risk prediction model to support personalized treatment strategies.

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 ...
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 ...
