Artificial Intelligence in Head and Neck Imaging.

Seminars in ultrasound, CT, and MR
Artificial intelligence (AI) can be applied to head and neck imaging to augment image quality and various clinical tasks including segmentation of tumor volumes, tumor characterization, tumor prognostication and treatment response, and prediction of ...

Deep learning tools for the cancer clinic: an open-source framework with head and neck contour validation.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: With the rapid growth of deep learning research for medical applications comes the need for clinical personnel to be comfortable and familiar with these techniques. Taking a proven approach, we developed a straightforward open-source fram...

General and custom deep learning autosegmentation models for organs in head and neck, abdomen, and male pelvis.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To reduce workload and inconsistencies in organ segmentation for radiation treatment planning, we developed and evaluated general and custom autosegmentation models on computed tomography (CT) for three major tumor sites using a well-establi...

Prospectively-validated deep learning model for segmenting swallowing and chewing structures in CT.

Physics in medicine and biology
Delineating swallowing and chewing structures aids in radiotherapy (RT) treatment planning to limit dysphagia, trismus, and speech dysfunction. We aim to develop an accurate and efficient method to automate this process.CT scans of 242 head and neck ...

In vivo detection of head and neck tumors by hyperspectral imaging combined with deep learning methods.

Journal of biophotonics
Currently, there are no fast and accurate screening methods available for head and neck cancer, the eighth most common tumor entity. For this study, we used hyperspectral imaging, an imaging technique for quantitative and objective surface analysis, ...

Deep learning-based automatic delineation of anal cancer gross tumour volume: a multimodality comparison of CT, PET and MRI.

Acta oncologica (Stockholm, Sweden)
BACKGROUND: Accurate target volume delineation is a prerequisite for high-precision radiotherapy. However, manual delineation is resource-demanding and prone to interobserver variation. An automatic delineation approach could potentially save time an...

Dynamic stochastic deep learning approaches for predicting geometric changes in head and neck cancer.

Physics in medicine and biology
Modern radiotherapy stands to benefit from the ability to efficiently adapt plans during treatment in response to setup and geometric variations such as those caused by internal organ deformation or tumor shrinkage. A promising strategy is to develop...

Cascaded deep learning-based auto-segmentation for head and neck cancer patients: Organs at risk on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To investigate multiple deep learning methods for automated segmentation (auto-segmentation) of the parotid glands, submandibular glands, and level II and level III lymph nodes on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Outlining radiosensitive or...

Learning-based synthetic dual energy CT imaging from single energy CT for stopping power ratio calculation in proton radiation therapy.

The British journal of radiology
OBJECTIVE: Dual energy CT (DECT) has been shown to estimate stopping power ratio (SPR) map with a higher accuracy than conventional single energy CT (SECT) by obtaining the energy dependence of photon interactions. This work presents a learning-based...
