The accurate prediction of patients with complex diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), as well as disease stages, including early- and late-stage cancer, is challenging owing to substantial variability among patients and limited availability of...
The fifteenth edition of the international workshop organized by the "Tumour Targeting and Radiotherapies network" of the Cancéropôle Grand-Ouest focused on the latest advances in internal and external radiotherapy from different disciplinary angles:...
Machine learning (ML) includes a broad class of computer programs that improve with experience and shows unique strengths in performing tasks such as clustering, classification and regression. Over the past decade, microbial communities have been imp...

Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is increasingly used in oncology, neurology, cardiology, and emerging medical fields. The success stems from the cohesive information that hybrid PET/CT imaging offers, surpassing the capabili...
Multiple instance learning (MIL) models have achieved remarkable success in analyzing whole slide images (WSIs) for disease classification problems. However, with regard to giga-pixel WSI classification problems, current MIL models are often incapabl...
PURPOSE: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of the liver suffers from low resolution, noise, and artifacts. This study aimed to investigate the effect of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) on image quality and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) quant...
Routine clinical dosimetry along with radiopharmaceutical therapies is key for future treatment personalization. However, dosimetry is considered complex and time-consuming with various challenges amongst the required steps within the dosimetry workf...
Radiotherapy serves as a pivotal treatment modality for malignant tumors. However, the accuracy of radiotherapy is significantly compromised due to respiratory-induced fluctuations in the size, shape, and position of the tumor. To address this challe...
The accurate delineation of organs-at-risk (OARs) is a crucial step in treatment planning during radiotherapy, as it minimizes the potential adverse effects of radiation on surrounding healthy organs. However, manual contouring of OARs in computed to...
BACKGROUND: Laryngopharyngeal cancer (LPC) includes laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer, whose early diagnosis can significantly improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients. Pathological biopsy of suspicious cancerous tissue under the guida...
