Daptomycin is a concentration-dependent lipopeptide antibiotic for which exposure/effect relationships have been shown. Machine learning (ML) algorithms, developed to predict the individual exposure to drugs, have shown very good performances in comp...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Ganciclovir (GCV) and valganciclovir (VGCV) show large interindividual pharmacokinetic variability, particularly in children. The objectives of this study were (1) to develop machine learning (ML) algorithms trained on simu...
Monitoring healthcare processes, such as surgical outcomes, with a keen focus on detecting changes and unnatural conditions at an early stage is crucial for healthcare professionals and administrators. In line with this goal, control charts, which ar...

PURPOSE: To propose an artificial intelligence (AI)-based method for personalized and real-time dosimetry for chest CBCT acquisitions.
BACKGROUND: In boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT)-a form of binary radiotherapy-the primary challenge in treatment planning systems for dose calculations arises from the time-consuming nature of the Monte Carlo (MC) method. Recent progress, includi...
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are currently among the most widely-used deep neural network (DNN) architectures available and achieve state-of-the-art performance for many problems. Originally applied to computer vision tasks, CNNs work well wi...
SIGNIFICANCE: Machine learning (ML)-enabled diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) is increasingly used as an alternative to the computation-intensive inverse Monte Carlo (MCI) simulation to predict tissue's optical properties, including the absorpti...
The advantage of proton therapy as compared to photon therapy stems from the Bragg peak effect, which allows protons to deposit most of their energy directly at the tumor while sparing healthy tissue. However, even with such benefits, proton therapy ...
