PURPOSE: The contouring of organs at risk (OARs) in head and neck cancer radiation treatment planning is a crucial, yet repetitive and time-consuming process. Recent studies have applied deep learning (DL) algorithms to automatically contour head and...
In the past decade, there has been a sharp increase in publications describing applications of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in medical image analysis. However, recent reviews have warned of the lack of reproducibility of most such studies, wh...
PURPOSE: This study aims to review deep learning applications for detecting head and neck cancer (HNC) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiographic data.
BACKGROUND: Adaptive proton therapy workflows rely on accurate imaging throughout the treatment course. Our centre currently utilizes weekly repeat CTs (rCTs) for treatment monitoring and plan adaptations. However, deep learning-based methods have re...
BACKGROUND: Inaccurate manual organ delineation is one of the high-risk failure modes in radiation treatment. Numerous automated contour quality assurance (QA) systems have been developed to assess contour acceptability; however, manual inspection of...
BACKGROUND: In the Danish Head and Neck Cancer Group (DAHANCA) 35 trial, patients are selected for proton treatment based on simulated reductions of Normal Tissue Complication Probability (NTCP) for proton compared to photon treatment at the referrin...

The etiology of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) involves multiple carcinogens, such as alcohol, tobacco, and infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). Because HPV infection influences the prognosis, treatment, and survival of patients ...
Deep-learning auto-contouring (DL-AC) promises standardisation of organ-at-risk (OAR) contouring, enhancing quality and improving efficiency in radiotherapy. No commercial models exist for OAR contouring based on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI...
