Hyperthermia (HT) in combination with radio- and/or chemotherapy has become an accepted cancer treatment for distinct solid tumour entities. In HT, tumour tissue is exogenously heated to temperatures between 39 and 43 °C for 60 min. Temperature monit...
Deep learning shows promise in automated brain tumour segmentation, but it depends on costly expert annotations. Recent advances in unsupervised learning offer an alternative by using synthetic data for training. However, the discrepancy between real...

PURPOSE: To investigate the feasibility of deep-learning-based synthetic 4DCT (4D-sCT) generation from 4DMRI data of abdominal patients undergoing Carbon Ion Radiotherapy (CIRT).
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the primary causes of dementia in the older population, affecting memories, cognitive levels, and the ability to accomplish simple activities gradually. Timely intervention and efficient control of the disease prove...
PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential technique for diagnosing pituitary adenomas; however, it is also challenging for neurosurgeons to use it to precisely identify some types of microadenomas. A novel neural network model was dev...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinimetric reliability of automated vestibular schwannoma (VS) segmentations by a comparison with human inter-observer variability on T1-weighted contrast-enhanced MRI scans.
