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 ...
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...
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...
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 ...
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, ...
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...
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...
BACKGROUND: Viral infections are prevalent in human cancers and they have great diagnostic and theranostic values in clinical practice. Recently, their potential of shaping the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) has been related to the immunotherap...
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...
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...
