INTRODUCTION: Cone-beam CT (CBCT) image quality is important for its quantitative analysis in adaptive radiation therapy. However, due to severe artifacts, the CBCTs are primarily used for verifying patient setup only so far. We have developed a lear...
In this paper we present a method for simultaneously segmenting brain tumors and an extensive set of organs-at-risk for radiation therapy planning of glioblastomas. The method combines a contrast-adaptive generative model for whole-brain segmentation...
Computer aided diagnosis using artificial intelligent techniques made tremendous improvement in medical applications especially for easy detection of tumor area, tumor type and grades. This paper presents automatic glioma tumor grade identification f...
Accurate brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tumor segmentation continues to be an active research topic in medical image analysis since it provides doctors with meaningful and reliable quantitative information in diagnosing and monitoring neurolo...
This study aimed to identify the optimal radiomic machine-learning classifier for differentiating glioblastoma (GBM) from solitary brain metastases (MET) preoperatively. Four hundred and twelve patients with solitary brain tumors (242 GBM and 170 sol...
In radiotherapy, computed tomography (CT) datasets are mostly used for radiation treatment planning to achieve a high-conformal tumor coverage while optimally sparing healthy tissue surrounding the tumor, referred to as organs-at-risk (OARs). Based o...
This paper describes state-of-the-art methods for molecular biomarker prediction utilising magnetic resonance imaging. This review paper covers both classical machine learning approaches and deep learning approaches to identifying the predictive feat...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MR imaging-based modeling of tumor cell density can substantially improve targeted treatment of glioblastoma. Unfortunately, interpatient variability limits the predictive ability of many modeling approaches. We present a tran...
The brain tumor can be created by uncontrollable increase of abnormal cells in tissue of brain and it has two kinds of tumors: one is benign and another one is malignant tumor. The benign brain tumor does not affect the adjacent normal and healthy ti...
