Highlighting the risk of biases in radiomics-based models will help improve their quality and increase usage as decision support systems in the clinic. In this study we use machine learning-based methods to identify the presence of volume-confounding...
Despite profound knowledge of the incidence of oral cancers and a large body of research beyond it, it continues to beat diagnosis and treatment management. Post physical observation by clinicians, a biopsy is a gold standard for accurate detection o...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and evaluate the performance of U-Net for fully automated localization and segmentation of cervical tumors in magnetic resonance (MR) images and the robustness of extracting apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) radiomics feature...
INTRODUCTION: The cardiac radiation dose is an important predictor of cardiac toxicity and overall survival (OS) for patients with locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, radiation-induced cardiac toxicity among patients with ea...

Most surgical specialties have attempted to address concerns about unfair comparison of outcomes by "risk-adjusting" data to benchmark specialty-specific outcomes that are indicative of the quality of care. We are building on previous work in head an...

With deep convolutional neural networks and fiber optic Raman spectroscopy, this study presents a novel classification method that discriminates tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) from non-tumorous tissue. To achieve this purpose, 24 tissues spect...
The Cox proportional hazards model commonly used to evaluate prognostic variables in survival of cancer patients may be too simplistic to properly predict a cancer patient's outcome since it assumes that the outcome is a linear combination of covaria...
PURPOSE: To investigate the treatment response prediction feasibility and accuracy of an integrated model combining computed tomography (CT) radiomic features and dosimetric parameters for patients with esophageal cancer (EC) who underwent concurrent...
