DeepDose: a robust deep learning-based dose engine for abdominal tumours in a 1.5 T MRI radiotherapy system.

Physics in medicine and biology
We present a robust deep learning-based framework for dose calculations of abdominal tumours in a 1.5 T MRI radiotherapy system. For a set of patient plans, a convolutional neural network is trained on the dose of individual multi-leaf-collimator seg...

Automatic attenuation map estimation from SPECT data only for brain perfusion scans using convolutional neural networks.

Physics in medicine and biology
In clinical brain SPECT, correction for photon attenuation in the patient is essential to obtain images which provide quantitative information on the regional activity concentration per unit volume (kBq.[Formula: see text]). This correction generally...

Universal probabilistic programming offers a powerful approach to statistical phylogenetics.

Communications biology
Statistical phylogenetic analysis currently relies on complex, dedicated software packages, making it difficult for evolutionary biologists to explore new models and inference strategies. Recent years have seen more generic solutions based on probabi...

A comparison of Monte Carlo dropout and bootstrap aggregation on the performance and uncertainty estimation in radiation therapy dose prediction with deep learning neural networks.

Physics in medicine and biology
Recently, artificial intelligence technologies and algorithms have become a major focus for advancements in treatment planning for radiation therapy. As these are starting to become incorporated into the clinical workflow, a major concern from clinic...

A generative adversarial network approach to (ensemble) weather prediction.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
We use a conditional deep convolutional generative adversarial network to predict the geopotential height of the 500 hPa pressure level, the two-meter temperature and the total precipitation for the next 24 h over Europe. The proposed models are trai...

Modeling complex particles phase space with GAN for Monte Carlo SPECT simulations: a proof of concept.

Physics in medicine and biology
A method is proposed to model by a generative adversarial network the distribution of particles exiting a patient during Monte Carlo simulation of emission tomography imaging devices. The resulting compact neural network is then able to generate part...

Statistical foundation of Variational Bayes neural networks.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Despite the popularism of Bayesian neural networks (BNNs) in recent years, its use is somewhat limited in complex and big data situations due to the computational cost associated with full posterior evaluations. Variational Bayes (VB) provides a usef...

DeepMC: a deep learning method for efficient Monte Carlo beamlet dose calculation by predictive denoising in magnetic resonance-guided radiotherapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
Emerging magnetic resonance (MR) guided radiotherapy affords significantly improved anatomy visualization and, subsequently, more effective personalized treatment. The new therapy paradigm imposes significant demands on radiation dose calculation qua...

QSSR Modeling of Bacillus Subtilis Lipase A Peptide Collision Cross-Sections in Ion Mobility Spectrometry: Local Descriptor Versus Global Descriptor.

The protein journal
To investigate the structure-dependent peptide mobility behavior in ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), quantitative structure-spectrum relationship (QSSR) is systematically modeled and predicted for the collision cross section Ω values of totally 162 s...

Approximating the Ideal Observer for Joint Signal Detection and Localization Tasks by use of Supervised Learning Methods.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Medical imaging systems are commonly assessed and optimized by use of objective measures of image quality (IQ). The Ideal Observer (IO) performance has been advocated to provide a figure-of-merit for use in assessing and optimizing imaging systems be...
