BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgery is a treatment option for esophageal cancer (EC). However, concerns persist regarding cardiopulmonary toxicity and inconsistent daily target coverage due to anatomical changes. To ad...
OBJECTIVES: Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are advancing rapidly in medical research, demonstrating promising results in diagnosis and prediction within radiology and pathology. This study evaluates the efficacy of deep learning algorithms...
BACKGROUND: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are frequently associated with posterior condylar displacement; however, early prediction of this displacement remains a significant challenge. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to develop and evaluate ...
OBJECTIVE: Accurate segmentation of the mandibular and bifid canals is crucial in dental implant planning to ensure safe implant placement, third molar extractions and other surgical interventions. The objective of this study is to develop and valida...
BACKGROUND: Orthodontically induced root resorption (OIRR) is difficult to assess accurately using traditional 2D imaging due to distortion and low sensitivity. While CBCT offers more precise 3D evaluation, manual segmentation remains labor-intensive...

Prostate Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR) is an ultra-hypofractionated treatment where small setup errors can lead to higher doses to organs at risk (OARs). Although bowel and bladder preparation protocols reduce inter-fraction variabil...
BACKGROUND: The extension of onboard cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging for real-time treatment planning is constrained by limitations in image quality. Synthetic CT (sCT) generation using deep learning provides a potential solution to these limitations.
OBJECTIVES: Dental caries remains a significant global health concern. Recognising the diagnostic potential of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in caries assessment, this study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven tool for accu...
An MRI-only workflow requires synthetic computed tomography (sCT) images to enable dose calculation. This study evaluated the dosimetric and patient positioning accuracy of deep learning-generated sCT for liver radiotherapy.sCT images were generated ...
BACKGROUND: Manual landmark detection in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for evaluating craniofacial structures relies on medical expertise and is time-consuming. This study aimed to apply a new deep learning method to predict and locate soft an...
