This study is aimed to clarify the effectiveness of the image-rotation technique and zooming augmentation to improve the accuracy of the deep learning (DL)-based dose conversion from pencil beam (PB) to Monte Carlo (MC) in proton beam therapy (PBT). ...
INTRODUCTION: Risk prediction models are increasingly used in healthcare to aid in clinical decision-making. In most clinical contexts, model calibration (i.e., assessing the reliability of risk estimates) is critical. Data available for model develo...
Heterogeneous treatment effect estimation is an important problem in precision medicine. Specific interests lie in identifying the differential effect of different treatments based on some external covariates. We propose a novel non-parametric treatm...
Molecular dynamics simulations are crucial for understanding the structural and dynamical behavior of biomolecular systems, including the impact of their environment. However, there is a gap between the time scale of these simulations and that of rea...
Many human diseases result from a complex interplay of behavioral, clinical, and molecular factors. Integrating low-dimensional behavioral and clinical features with high-dimensional molecular profiles can significantly improve disease outcome predic...
This paper focuses on the neutron spectrum measurement using a liquid scintillation detector, where the neutron spectrum could be identified and unfolded from the light output distribution of the EJ-301 liquid scintillation detector through a linear ...
Cosmic radiation exposure is one of the important health concerns for aircrews. In this work, we constructed a back propagation neural network model for the real-time and rapid assessment of cosmic radiation exposure to the public in aviation. The mu...
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) provide flexible function approximations for a wide variety of applications when the input variables are in the form of images or spatial data. Although CNNs often outperform traditional statistical models in pred...

PURPOSE: This study aims to propose and develop a fast, accurate, and robust prediction method of patient-specific organ doses from CT examinations using minimized computational resources.
MOTIVATION: A single gene may yield several isoforms with different functions through alternative splicing. Continuous efforts are devoted to developing machine-learning methods to predict isoform functions. However, existing methods do not consider ...
