OBJECTIVE: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been increasingly applied for malignant meningiomas as an alternative to conventionally fractioned radiation therapy. We performed a retrospective analysis of an institutional patient cohort with maligna...
PURPOSE: To develop and validate a robust and accurate registration pipeline for automatic contour propagation for online adaptive Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT) of prostate cancer using elastix software and deep learning.
Photoplethysmography (PPG)-based continuous heart rate monitoring is essential in a number of domains, e.g., for healthcare or fitness applications. Recently, methods based on time-frequency spectra emerged to address the challenges of motion artefac...
Recent studies have shown how embodiment induced by multisensory bodily interactions between individuals can positively change social attitudes (closeness, empathy, racial biases). Here we use a simple neuroscience-inspired procedure to beam our huma...

BACKGROUND: Clinical balance assessments often rely on functional tasks as a proxy for balance (e.g., Timed Up and Go). In contrast, analyses of balance in research settings incorporate quantitative biomechanical measurements (e.g., whole-body angula...
Accurate and reliable segmentation of the prostate gland using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has critical importance for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate diseases, especially prostate cancer. Although many automated segmentation approaches, ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To investigate a novel markerless prostate localization strategy using a pre-trained deep learning model to interpret routine projection kilovoltage (kV) X-ray images in image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT).
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Few artificial intelligence-based technologies have been developed to improve the efficiency of screening for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Here, we developed and validated a novel system of computer-aided detection ...
