Head-and-neck simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) treatment planning using intensity modulated radiation therapy is particularly challenging due to the proximity to organs-at-risk. Depending on the specific clinical conditions, different parotid-spar...
. 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...
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...
OBJECTIVE: Compare the image quality of image reconstructed using deep learning-based image reconstruction (DLIR) and iterative reconstruction algorithms for head and neck dual-energy CT angiography (DECTA).
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.
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...
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...
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...

PURPOSE: Oropharyngeal dysphagia is a common and debilitating condition in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between tongue muscle composition (quantity and quality) and the risk of dysphagia in non-su...
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 ...
