Application of deep learning to the diagnosis of cervical lymph node metastasis from thyroid cancer with CT: external validation and clinical utility for resident training.

European radiology
PURPOSE: This study aimed to validate a deep learning model's diagnostic performance in using computed tomography (CT) to diagnose cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) from thyroid cancer in a large clinical cohort and to evaluate the model's clinica...

User-controlled pipelines for feature integration and head and neck radiation therapy outcome predictions.

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: Precision cancer medicine is dependent on accurate prediction of disease and treatment outcome, requiring integration of clinical, imaging and interventional knowledge. User controlled pipelines are capable of feature integration with varied...

Deep learning-based virtual noncontrast CT for volumetric modulated arc therapy planning: Comparison with a dual-energy CT-based approach.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop a deep learning (DL) method for generating virtual noncontrast (VNC) computed tomography (CT) images from contrast-enhanced (CE) CT images (VNC ) and to evaluate its performance in dose calculations for h...

Machine learning-based multiparametric MRI radiomics for predicting the aggressiveness of papillary thyroid carcinoma.

European journal of radiology
PURPOSE: To investigate the predictive capability of machine learning-based multiparametric magnetic resonance (MR) imaging radiomics for evaluating the aggressiveness of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) preoperatively.

Patient-specific reconstruction of volumetric computed tomography images from a single projection view via deep learning.

Nature biomedical engineering
Tomographic imaging using penetrating waves generates cross-sectional views of the internal anatomy of a living subject. For artefact-free volumetric imaging, projection views from a large number of angular positions are required. Here we show that a...

Improving automatic delineation for head and neck organs at risk by Deep Learning Contouring.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
INTRODUCTION: Adequate head and neck (HN) organ-at-risk (OAR) delineation is crucial for HN radiotherapy and for investigating the relationships between radiation dose to OARs and radiation-induced side effects. The automatic contouring algorithms th...

How many models/atlases are needed as priors for capturing anatomic population variations?

Medical image analysis
Many medical image processing and analysis operations can benefit a great deal from prior information encoded in the form of models/atlases to capture variations over a population in form, shape, anatomic layout, and image appearance of objects. Howe...

Deep Learning Convolutional Neural Networks for the Automatic Quantification of Muscle Fat Infiltration Following Whiplash Injury.

Scientific reports
Muscle fat infiltration (MFI) of the deep cervical spine extensors has been observed in cervical spine conditions using time-consuming and rater-dependent manual techniques. Deep learning convolutional neural network (CNN) models have demonstrated st...

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: prediction of cervical lymph node metastasis by dual-energy CT texture analysis with machine learning.

European radiology
OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted in order to evaluate a novel risk stratification model using dual-energy CT (DECT) texture analysis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with machine learning to (1) predict associated cervical lymphad...
