Many-isocenter optimization for robotic radiotherapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
Despite significant dosimetric gains, clinical implementation of the 4π non-coplanar radiotherapy on the widely available C-arm gantry system is hindered by limited clearance, and the need to perform complex coordinated gantry and couch motion. A rob...

Lipidome-based rapid diagnosis with machine learning for detection of TGF-β signalling activated area in head and neck cancer.

British journal of cancer
BACKGROUND: Several pro-oncogenic signals, including transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signalling from tumour microenvironment, generate intratumoural phenotypic heterogeneity and result in tumour progression and treatment failure. However, the...

External validation and transfer learning of convolutional neural networks for computed tomography dental artifact classification.

Physics in medicine and biology
Quality assurance of data prior to use in automated pipelines and image analysis would assist in safeguarding against biases and incorrect interpretation of results. Automation of quality assurance steps would further improve robustness and efficienc...

User-controlled pipelines for feature integration and head and neck radiation therapy outcome predictions.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: Precision cancer medicine is dependent on accurate prediction of disease and treatment outcome, requiring integration of clinical, imaging and interventional knowledge. User controlled pipelines are capable of feature integration with varied...

Machine Learning for Predicting Complications in Head and Neck Microvascular Free Tissue Transfer.

The Laryngoscope
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Machine learning (ML) is a type of artificial intelligence wherein a computer learns patterns and associations between variables to correctly predict outcomes. The objectives of this study were to 1) use a ML platform to identi...

Convolutional neural network enhancement of fast-scan low-dose cone-beam CT images for head and neck radiotherapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
To improve image quality and CT number accuracy of fast-scan low-dose cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) through a deep-learning convolutional neural network (CNN) methodology for head-and-neck (HN) radiotherapy. Fifty-five paired CBCT and CT image...

Knowledge-Based Tradeoff Hyperplanes for Head and Neck Treatment Planning.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: To develop a tradeoff hyperplane model to facilitate tradeoff decision-making before inverse planning.

Automatic classification of dental artifact status for efficient image veracity checks: effects of image resolution and convolutional neural network depth.

Physics in medicine and biology
Enabling automated pipelines, image analysis and big data methodology in cancer clinics requires thorough understanding of the data. Automated quality assurance steps could improve the efficiency and robustness of these methods by verifying possible ...

Multimodality image registration in the head-and-neck using a deep learning-derived synthetic CT as a bridge.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop and demonstrate the efficacy of a novel head-and-neck multimodality image registration technique using deep-learning-based cross-modality synthesis.

Multi-Institutional Validation of Deep Learning for Pretreatment Identification of Extranodal Extension in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Journal of clinical oncology : official journal of the American Society of Clinical Oncology
PURPOSE: Extranodal extension (ENE) is a well-established poor prognosticator and an indication for adjuvant treatment escalation in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Identification of ENE on pretreatment imaging represents...
