Dose prediction via distance-guided deep learning: Initial development for nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Geometric information such as distance information is essential for dose calculations in radiotherapy. However, state-of-the-art dose prediction methods use only binary masks without distance information. This study aims to de...

Deep Learning-Based Automatic Assessment of Radiation Dermatitis in Patients With Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Radiation dermatitis (RD) is a common, unpleasant side effect of patients receiving radiation therapy. In clinical practice, the severity of RD is graded manually through visual inspection, which is labor intensive and often leads to large i...

The contrast-enhanced MRI can be substituted by unenhanced MRI in identifying and automatically segmenting primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma with the aid of deep learning models: An exploratory study in large-scale population of endemic area.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Administration of contrast is not desirable for all cases in clinical setting, and no consensus in sequence selection for deep learning model development has been achieved, thus we aim to explore whether contrast-enhanced m...

DCNet: Densely Connected Deep Convolutional Encoder-Decoder Network for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Segmentation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma segmentation in magnetic resonance imagery (MRI) is vital to radiotherapy. Exact dose delivery hinges on an accurate delineation of the gross tumor volume (GTV). However, the large-scale variation in tumor volume is intractab...

Computed tomography-based deep-learning prediction of induction chemotherapy treatment response in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Strahlentherapie und Onkologie : Organ der Deutschen Rontgengesellschaft ... [et al]
BACKGROUND: Deep learning methods have great potential to predict treatment response. The objective of this study was to evaluate and validate the predictive performance of the computed tomography (CT)-based model using deep learning features for ide...

A deep-learning method for generating synthetic kV-CT and improving tumor segmentation for helical tomotherapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Physics in medicine and biology
Megavoltage computed tomography (MV-CT) is used for setup verification and adaptive radiotherapy in tomotherapy. However, its low contrast and high noise lead to poor image quality. This study aimed to develop a deep-learning-based method to generate...

Deep Learning for nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Identification Using Both White Light and Narrow-Band Imaging Endoscopy.

The Laryngoscope
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: To develop a deep-learning-based automatic diagnosis system for identifying nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) from noncancer (inflammation and hyperplasia), using both white light imaging (WLI) and narrow-band imaging (NBI) nasoph...

A deep learning-based radiomic nomogram for prognosis and treatment decision in advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma: A multicentre study.

EBioMedicine
BACKGROUND: Induction chemotherapy (ICT) plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and CCRT alone were the optional treatment regimens in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients. Currently, the choice of them remains equivocal ...

Deep Learning-Guided Fiberoptic Raman Spectroscopy Enables Real-Time Diagnosis and Assessment of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma and Post-treatment Efficacy during Endoscopy.

Analytical chemistry
In this work, we develop a deep learning-guided fiberoptic Raman diagnostic platform to assess its ability of real-time nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) diagnosis and post-treatment follow-up of NPC patients. The robust Raman diagnostic platform is es...

An interpretable machine learning prognostic system for locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma based on tumor burden features.

Oral oncology
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to build a survival system by combining a highly-accurate machine learning (ML) model with explainable artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to predict distant metastasis in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC...
