A preliminary study of a photon dose calculation algorithm using a convolutional neural network.

Physics in medicine and biology
The aim of dose calculation algorithm research is to improve the calculation accuracy while maximizing the calculation efficiency. In this study, the three-dimensional distribution of total energy release per unit mass (TERMA) and the electron densit...

Generating High-Quality Lymph Node Clinical Target Volumes for Head and Neck Cancer Radiation Therapy Using a Fully Automated Deep Learning-Based Approach.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: To develop a deep learning model that generates consistent, high-quality lymph node clinical target volumes (CTV) contours for head and neck cancer (HNC) patients, as an integral part of a fully automated radiation treatment planning workflo...

Deep learning for elective neck delineation: More consistent and time efficient.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Delineation of the lymph node levels of the neck for irradiation of the elective clinical target volume in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients is time consuming and prone to interobserver variability (IOV), although international ...

Computed tomography-based deep-learning prediction of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy treatment response in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND: Deep learning is promising to predict treatment response. We aimed to evaluate and validate the predictive performance of the CT-based model using deep learning features for predicting pathologic complete response to neoadjuvant chemoradi...

Robotic Neck Dissection.

Otolaryngologic clinics of North America
Management of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma necessitates a multimodal approach. The neck dissection has evolved over many years but is well established as the key surgical intervention for management of nodal disease in the neck. The open nec...

Robustness study of noisy annotation in deep learning based medical image segmentation.

Physics in medicine and biology
Partly due to the use of exhaustive-annotated data, deep networks have achieved impressive performance on medical image segmentation. Medical imaging data paired with noisy annotation are, however, ubiquitous, but little is known about the effect of ...

Comparison of CBCT-based dose calculation methods in head and neck cancer radiotherapy: from Hounsfield unit to density calibration curve to deep learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Anatomical variations occur during head and neck (H&N) radiotherapy treatment. kV cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images can be used for daily dose monitoring to assess dose variations owing to anatomic changes. Deep learning methods (D...
