The robotic-assisted extended "Sistrunk" approach for tumors of the upper aerodigestive tract with limited transoral access: First description of oncological and functional outcomes.

Head & neck
We report on the first clinical experience with the robotic-assisted extended "Sistrunk" approach (RESA) for access to constrained spaces of the upper aerodigestive tract. This prospective case cohort study include six patients that underwent RESA if...

A deep learning-based radiomics approach to predict head and neck tumor regression for adaptive radiotherapy.

Scientific reports
Early regression-the regression in tumor volume during the initial phase of radiotherapy (approximately 2 weeks after treatment initiation)-is a common occurrence during radiotherapy. This rapid radiation-induced tumor regression may alter target coo...

Tackling the class imbalance problem of deep learning-based head and neck organ segmentation.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: The segmentation of organs at risk (OAR) is a required precondition for the cancer treatment with image- guided radiation therapy. The automation of the segmentation task is therefore of high clinical relevance. Deep learning (DL)-based medi...

Histopathology-Based Diagnosis of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Using Deep Learning.

Journal of dental research
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is prevalent around the world and is associated with poor prognosis. OSCC is typically diagnosed from tissue biopsy sections by pathologists who rely on their empirical experience. Deep learning models may improve ...

Use of deep learning to predict the need for aggressive nutritional supplementation during head and neck radiotherapy.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: Radiation therapy (RT) for the treatment of patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) leads to side effects that can limit a person's oral intake. Early identification of patients who need aggressive nutrition supplementation via a...

Decentralized Distributed Multi-institutional PET Image Segmentation Using a Federated Deep Learning Framework.

Clinical nuclear medicine
PURPOSE: The generalizability and trustworthiness of deep learning (DL)-based algorithms depend on the size and heterogeneity of training datasets. However, because of patient privacy concerns and ethical and legal issues, sharing medical images betw...

Pseudo low-energy monochromatic imaging of head and neck cancers: Deep learning image reconstruction with dual-energy CT.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Low-energy virtual monochromatic images (VMIs) derived from dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) systems improve lesion conspicuity of head and neck cancer over single-energy CT (SECT). However, DECT systems are installed in a limited numb...

Head and neck synthetic CT generated from ultra-low-dose cone-beam CT following Image Gently Protocol using deep neural network.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Image guidance is used to improve the accuracy of radiation therapy delivery but results in increased dose to patients. This is of particular concern in children who need be treated per Pediatric Image Gently Protocols due to long-term risks...

Deep learning-based auto segmentation using generative adversarial network on magnetic resonance images obtained for head and neck cancer patients.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Adaptive radiotherapy requires auto-segmentation in patients with head and neck (HN) cancer. In the current study, we propose an auto-segmentation model using a generative adversarial network (GAN) on magnetic resonance (MR) images of HN can...
