Knowledge-based planning (KBP) can be used to estimate dose-volume histograms (DVHs) of organs at risk (OAR) using models. The task of model creation, however, can result in estimates with differing accuracy; particularly when outlier plans are not p...
OBJECTIVE: Accurate detection and segmentation of organs at risks (OARs) in CT image is the key step for efficient planning of radiation therapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treatment. We develop a fully automated deep-learning-based method (te...
The interactive adjustment of the optimization objectives during the treatment planning process has made it difficult to evaluate the impact of beam quality exclusively in radiotherapy. Without consensus in the published results, the arbitrary select...
OBJECTIVES: Previous studies reported improved continence recovery by bladder neck sparing (BNS) in prostate cancer patients treated with robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP), without compromising biochemical recurrence (BCR). We ...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Nowadays, kidney cancer surgery has been focusing on a patient-tailored management, expanding the indication to nephron-sparing surgery (NSS). Starting from computer tomography images, 3D models can be created, allowing a never exp...
Cervical cancer radiotherapy is often complicated by significant variability in the quality and consistency of treatment plans. Knowledge-based planning (KBP), which utilizes prior patient data to correlated achievable optimal dosimetry with patient-...
INTRODUCTION: While the long-term oncologic safety of robot-assisted nipple sparing mastectomy (RNSM) remains to be elucidated, histologically detected residual breast tissue (RBT) can be a surrogate for oncologically sound mastectomy. The objective ...
BACKGROUND: Multiple structures in the anorectal area are closely related to defecation, voiding and sexual function. Although laparoscopic-assisted anorectal pull-through is widely accepted as a minimally invasive surgical technique, controversy sti...
