Computer-aided diagnosis and regional segmentation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma based on multi-modality medical images.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
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...

Convolutional neural network in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: how good is automatic delineation for primary tumor on a non-contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed T2-weighted MRI?

Japanese journal of radiology
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...

DVH Prediction for VMAT in NPC with GRU-RNN: An Improved Method by Considering Biological Effects.

BioMed research international
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...

Continual improvement of nasopharyngeal carcinoma segmentation with less labeling effort.

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: 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.

A deep learning model to predict dose-volume histograms of organs at risk in radiotherapy treatment plans.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop a deep learning-based model to predict achievable dose-volume histograms (DVHs) of organs at risk (OARs) for automation of inverse planning.

Verification of the machine delivery parameters of a treatment plan via deep learning.

Physics in medicine and biology
We developed a generative adversarial network (GAN)-based deep learning approach to estimate the multileaf collimator (MLC) aperture and corresponding monitor units (MUs) from a given 3D dose distribution. The proposed design of the adversarial netwo...

A knowledge-based intensity-modulated radiation therapy treatment planning technique for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: To investigate the feasibility of a knowledge-based automated intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) planning technique for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) radiotherapy.

Deep learning for risk prediction in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma using multi-parametric MRIs.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
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 ...
