A method of rapid quantification of patient-specific organ doses for CT using deep-learning-based multi-organ segmentation and GPU-accelerated Monte Carlo dose computing.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: One technical barrier to patient-specific computed tomography (CT) dosimetry has been the lack of computational tools for the automatic patient-specific multi-organ segmentation of CT images and rapid organ dose quantification. When previous...

A deep learning approach to radiation dose estimation.

Physics in medicine and biology
Currently methods for predicting absorbed dose after administering a radiopharmaceutical are rather crude in daily clinical practice. Most importantly, individual tissue density distributions as well as local variations of the concentration of the ra...

Integration of the M6 Cyberknife in the Moderato Monte Carlo platform and prediction of beam parameters using machine learning.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: This work describes the integration of the M6 Cyberknife in the Moderato Monte Carlo platform, and introduces a machine learning method to accelerate the modelling of a linac.

Overlooked pitfalls in multi-class machine learning classification in radiation oncology and how to avoid them.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
In radiation oncology, Machine Learning classification publications are typically related to two outcome classes, e.g. the presence or absence of distant metastasis. However, multi-class classification problems also have great clinical relevance, e.g...

Characterizing Protein-Ligand Binding Using Atomistic Simulation and Machine Learning: Application to Drug Resistance in HIV-1 Protease.

Journal of chemical theory and computation
Over the past several decades, atomistic simulations of biomolecules, whether carried out using molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo techniques, have provided detailed insights into their function. Comparing the results of such simulations for a few clo...

Semi-supervised learning for automatic segmentation of the knee from MRI with convolutional neural networks.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Segmentation is a crucial step in multiple biomechanics and orthopedics applications. The time-intensiveness and expertise requirements of medical image segmentation present a significant bottleneck for corresponding workflo...

Reinforcement Learning for Bioretrosynthesis.

ACS synthetic biology
Metabolic engineering aims to produce chemicals of interest from living organisms, to advance toward greener chemistry. Despite efforts, the research and development process is still long and costly, and efficient computational design tools are requi...

A deep learning approach for converting prompt gamma images to proton dose distributions: A Monte Carlo simulation study.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: In proton therapy, imaging prompt gamma (PG) rays has the potential to verify proton dose (PD) distribution. Despite the fact that there is a strong correlation between the gamma-ray emission and PD, they are still different in terms of the ...

A novel Cerenkov luminescence tomography approach using multilayer fully connected neural network.

Physics in medicine and biology
Cerenkov luminescence tomography (CLT) has been proved as an effective tool for various biomedical applications. Because of the severe scattering of Cerenkov luminescence, the performance of CLT remains unsatisfied. This paper proposed a novel CLT re...

Partial-ring PET image restoration using a deep learning based method.

Physics in medicine and biology
PET scanners with partial-ring geometry have been proposed for various imaging purposes. The incomplete projection data obtained from this design cause undesirable artifacts in the reconstructed images. In this study, we investigated the performance ...
