PURPOSE: This study investigated deep learning models for automatic segmentation to support the development of daily online dose optimization strategies, eliminating the need for internal target volume expansions and thereby reducing toxicity events ...
IMPORTANCE: Personalized radiotherapy planning depends on high-quality delineation of target tumors and surrounding organs at risk (OARs). This process puts additional time burdens on oncologists and introduces variability among both experts and inst...

Bone age is one of biological indicators of maturity used in clinical practice and it is a very important parameter of a child’s assessment, especially in paediatric endocrinology. The most widely used method of bone age assessment is by performing a...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Endoscopic disease activity scoring in ulcerative colitis (UC) is useful in clinical practice but done infrequently. It is required in clinical trials, where it is expensive and slow because human central readers are needed. A ma...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Delineation of the lymph node levels of the neck for irradiation of the elective clinical target volume in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients is time consuming and prone to interobserver variability (IOV), although international ...
OBJECTIVE: The diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is challenging. Sonographic and cross-sectional imaging findings of AIP closely mimic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and techniques for tissue sampling of AIP are suboptimal. These li...
The segmentation of neoplasms is an important part of radiotherapy treatment planning, monitoring disease progression, and predicting patient outcome. In the brain, functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) like dynamic susceptibility contrast enha...
Our objective was to compare the diagnostic performance and diagnostic confidence of convolutional neural networks (CNN) to radiologists in characterizing small hypoattenuating hepatic nodules (SHHN) in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) on CT scans. Retrosp...
