Deep learning-based auto-delineation of gross tumour volumes and involved nodes in PET/CT images of head and neck cancer patients.

European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging
PURPOSE: Identification and delineation of the gross tumour and malignant nodal volume (GTV) in medical images are vital in radiotherapy. We assessed the applicability of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for fully automatic delineation of the GTV...

Attention Guided Lymph Node Malignancy Prediction in Head and Neck Cancer.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Accurate lymph node (LN) malignancy classification is essential for treatment target identification in head and neck cancer (HNC) radiation therapy. Given the constraints imposed by relatively small sample sizes in real-world medical applica...

The implementation of TORS for head and neck surgery in Thailand.

Journal of robotic surgery
Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is a novel surgical treatment of head and neck cancers, mainly for limited tumor in oropharynx and supraglottis. Despite the major advantage of favorable postoperative functional outcomes, many obstacles exist during ...

Application of radiomics and machine learning in head and neck cancers.

International journal of biological sciences
With the continuous development of medical image informatics technology, more and more high-throughput quantitative data could be extracted from digital medical images, which has resulted in a new kind of omics-Radiomics. In recent years, in addition...

Self-channel-and-spatial-attention neural network for automated multi-organ segmentation on head and neck CT images.

Physics in medicine and biology
Accurate segmentation of organs at risk (OARs) is necessary for adaptive head and neck (H&N) cancer treatment planning, but manual delineation is tedious, slow, and inconsistent. A self-channel-and-spatial-attention neural network (SCSA-Net) is devel...

miRNA-Based Feature Classifier Is Associated with Tumor Mutational Burden in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

BioMed research international
Tumor mutation burden (TMB) is considered to be an independent genetic biomarker that can predict the tumor patient's response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Meanwhile, microRNA (miRNA) plays a key role in regulating the anticancer immune re...

Comparison of the suitability of CBCT- and MR-based synthetic CTs for daily adaptive proton therapy in head and neck patients.

Physics in medicine and biology
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)- and magnetic resonance (MR)-images allow a daily observation of patient anatomy but are not directly suited for accurate proton dose calculations. This can be overcome by creating synthetic CTs (sCT) using deep c...

Strategies to improve deep learning-based salivary gland segmentation.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Deep learning-based delineation of organs-at-risk for radiotherapy purposes has been investigated to reduce the time-intensiveness and inter-/intra-observer variability associated with manual delineation. We systematically evaluated ways ...

Evaluation of Deep Learning to Augment Image-Guided Radiotherapy for Head and Neck and Prostate Cancers.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Personalized radiotherapy planning depends on high-quality delineation of target tumors and surrounding organs at risk (OARs). This process puts additional time burdens on oncologists and introduces variability among both experts and inst...

Fast spot-scanning proton dose calculation method with uncertainty quantification using a three-dimensional convolutional neural network.

Physics in medicine and biology
This study proposes a near-real-time spot-scanning proton dose calculation method with probabilistic uncertainty estimation using a three-dimensional convolutional neural network (3D-CNN). CT images and clinical target volume contours of 215 head and...
