Deep learning-based dose prediction to improve the plan quality of volumetric modulated arc therapy for gynecologic cancers.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: In recent years, deep-learning models have been used to predict entire three-dimensional dose distributions. However, the usability of dose predictions to improve plan quality should be further investigated.

Consistency in contouring of organs at risk by artificial intelligence vs oncologists in head and neck cancer patients.

Acta oncologica (Stockholm, Sweden)
BACKGROUND: In the Danish Head and Neck Cancer Group (DAHANCA) 35 trial, patients are selected for proton treatment based on simulated reductions of Normal Tissue Complication Probability (NTCP) for proton compared to photon treatment at the referrin...

Geometric evaluations of CT and MRI based deep learning segmentation for brain OARs in radiotherapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
Deep-learning auto-contouring (DL-AC) promises standardisation of organ-at-risk (OAR) contouring, enhancing quality and improving efficiency in radiotherapy. No commercial models exist for OAR contouring based on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI...

Clinical evaluation of deep learning-based automatic clinical target volume segmentation: a single-institution multi-site tumor experience.

La Radiologia medica
PURPOSE: The large variability in tumor appearance and shape makes manual delineation of the clinical target volume (CTV) time-consuming, and the results depend on the oncologists' experience. Whereas deep learning techniques have allowed oncologists...

Deep learning based automatic segmentation of organs-at-risk for 0.35 T MRgRT of lung tumors.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance imaging guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) offers treatment plan adaptation to the anatomy of the day. In the current MRgRT workflow, this requires the time consuming and repetitive task of manual delineation of or...

Feasibility evaluation of novel AI-based deep-learning contouring algorithm for radiotherapy.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical feasibility of the Siemens Healthineers AI-Rad Companion Organs RT VA30A (Organs-RT) auto-contouring algorithm for organs at risk (OARs) of the pelvis, thorax, and head and neck (H&N).

Automated treatment planning for proton pencil beam scanning using deep learning dose prediction and dose-mimicking optimization.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of a deep learning architecture for automated treatment planning for proton pencil beam scanning (PBS).

An investigation into the risk of population bias in deep learning autocontouring.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To date, data used in the development of Deep Learning-based automatic contouring (DLC) algorithms have been largely sourced from single geographic populations. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of population-based bias by...

Incremental retraining, clinical implementation, and acceptance rate of deep learning auto-segmentation for male pelvis in a multiuser environment.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Deep learning auto-segmentation (DLAS) models have been adopted in the clinic; however, they suffer from performance deterioration owing to the clinical practice variability. Some commercial DLAS software provide an incremental retraining...

Delineation of clinical target volume and organs at risk in cervical cancer radiotherapy by deep learning networks.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Delineation of the clinical target volume (CTV) and organs-at-risk (OARs) is important in cervical cancer radiotherapy. But it is generally labor-intensive, time-consuming, and subjective. This paper proposes a parallel-path attention fusion...
