Deep learning prediction of scenario doses for direct plan robustness evaluations in IMPT for head-and-neck.

Physics in medicine and biology
. Intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) is susceptible to uncertainties in patient setup and proton range. Robust optimization is employed in IMPT treatment planning to ensure sufficient coverage of the clinical target volume (CTV) in predefined ...

Diagnostic accuracy of radiomics and artificial intelligence models in diagnosing lymph node metastasis in head and neck cancers: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Neuroradiology
INTRODUCTION: Head and neck cancers are the seventh most common globally, with lymph node metastasis (LNM) being a critical prognostic factor, significantly reducing survival rates. Traditional imaging methods have limitations in accurately diagnosin...

Clinical commissioning and introduction of an in-house artificial intelligence (AI) platform for automated head and neck intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment planning.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To describe the clinical commissioning of an in-house artificial intelligence (AI) treatment planning platform for head-and-neck (HN) Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT).

Exploring patient stratification in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma using machine learning techniques: Preliminary results.

Current problems in cancer
BACKGROUND: Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) presents a significant challenge in oncology due to its inherent heterogeneity. Traditional staging systems, such as TNM (Tumor, Node, Metastasis), provide limited information regarding patien...

OSAIRIS: Lessons Learned From the Hospital-Based Implementation and Evaluation of an Open-Source Deep-Learning Model for Radiotherapy Image Segmentation.

Clinical oncology (Royal College of Radiologists (Great Britain))
Several studies report the benefits and accuracy of using autosegmentation for organ at risk (OAR) outlining in radiotherapy treatment planning. Typically, evaluations focus on accuracy metrics, and other parameters such as perceived utility and safe...

Automated tumor localization and segmentation through hybrid neural network in head and neck cancer.

Medical dosimetry : official journal of the American Association of Medical Dosimetrists
PURPOSE: Head and Neck (H&N) cancer accounts for 3% of cancer cases in the United States. Precise tumor segmentation in H&N is of utmost importance for treatment planning and administering personalized treatment dose. We aimed to develop an automatic...

Deep learning-based statistical robustness evaluation of intensity-modulated proton therapy for head and neck cancer.

Physics in medicine and biology
. Previous methods for robustness evaluation rely on dose calculation for a number of uncertainty scenarios, which either fails to provide statistical meaning when the number is too small (e.g., ∼8) or becomes unfeasible in daily clinical practice wh...

Evaluation of deep learning based dose prediction in head and neck cancer patients using two different types of input contours.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: This study evaluates deep learning (DL) based dose prediction methods in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients using two types of input contours.

Machine Learning in Clinical Diagnosis of Head and Neck Cancer.

Clinical otolaryngology : official journal of ENT-UK ; official journal of Netherlands Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology & Cervico-Facial Surgery
OBJECTIVE: Machine learning has been effective in other areas of medicine, this study aims to investigate this with regards to HNC and identify which algorithm works best to classify malignant patients.
