A machine learning toolkit assisted approach for IMRT fluence map optimization: feasibility and advantages.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
. Traditional machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) applications in treatment planning rely on complex model architectures and large, high-quality training datasets. However, they cannot fully replace the conventional optimization process. Thi...

Histological tumor necrosis predicts decreased survival after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Oral oncology
OBJECTIVE: Despite growing interest in neoadjuvant therapies, there are no methods to predict radio- (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) response in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The aim of this research was to study the effect of neoadj...

Global burden and future trends of head and neck cancer: a deep learning-based analysis (1980-2030).

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Head and neck cancer (HNC) becomes a vital global health burden. Accurate assessment of the disease burden plays an essential role in setting health priorities and guiding decision-making.

Impact of harmonization on predicting complications in head and neck cancer after radiotherapy using MRI radiomics and machine learning techniques.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Variations in medical images specific to individual scanners restrict the use of radiomics in both clinical practice and research. To create reproducible and generalizable radiomics-based models for outcome prediction and assessment, data...

Deep learning techniques for proton dose prediction across multiple anatomical sites and variable beam configurations.

Physics in medicine and biology
To evaluate the impact of beam mask implementation and data aggregation on artificial intelligence-based dose prediction accuracy in proton therapy, with a focus on scenarios involving limited or highly heterogeneous datasets.In this study, 541 prost...

Deep learning-based segmentation of head and neck organs at risk on CBCT images with dosimetric assessment for radiotherapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become an essential tool in head and neck cancer (HNC) radiotherapy (RT) treatment delivery. Automatic segmentation of the organs at risk (OARs) on CBCT can trigger and accelerate treatment replanning but is s...

[New developments in the radiotherapy for head and neck cancer].

Magyar onkologia
The incidence of head and neck tumours is rising significantly worldwide. Radiotherapy has a significant role in their treatment, not only after surgery, but also as a definitive treatment, as an organ-preserving modality. Nowadays, the incidence of ...

Natural Language Processing to Extract Head and Neck Cancer Data From Unstructured Electronic Health Records.

Clinical oncology (Royal College of Radiologists (Great Britain))
AIMS: Patient data is frequently stored as unstructured data within Electronic Health Records (EHRs), requiring manual curation. AI tools using Natural Language Processing (NLP) may rapidly curate accurate real-world unstructured EHRs to enrich datas...

Closing the gap in plan quality: Leveraging deep-learning dose prediction for adaptive radiotherapy.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Balancing quality and efficiency has been a challenge for online adaptive therapy. Most systems start the online re-optimization with the original planning goals. While some systems allow planners to modify the planning goals, achieving a hi...
