PURPOSE: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a category of tumors with high incidence in head-and-neck (H&N) body region, and the diagnosis and treatment planning are usually conducted by radiologists manually, which is tedious, time-consuming and unre...
PURPOSE: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) show potential for delineating cancers on contrast-enhanced MRI (ce-MRI) but there are clinical scenarios in which administration of contrast is not desirable. We investigated performance of the CNN for d...
PURPOSE: A recurrent neural network (RNN) and its variants such as gated recurrent unit-based RNN (GRU-RNN) were found to be very suitable for dose-volume histogram (DVH) prediction in our previously published work. Using the dosimetric information g...

PURPOSE: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) offer a promising approach to automated segmentation. However, labeling contours on a large scale is laborious. Here we propose a method to improve segmentation continually with less labeling effort.
BACKGROUND: To investigate the feasibility of a knowledge-based automated intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) planning technique for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) radiotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance images (MRI) is the main diagnostic tool for risk stratification and treatment decision in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, the holistic feature information of multi-parametric MRIs has not been fully exploited ...

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that deep learning can help tumor staging automatically. However, automatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) staging is difficult due to the lack of large and slice-level annotated datasets.
