INTRODUCTION: Contouring organs at risk (OARs) is a time-intensive task that is a critical part of radiation therapy. Atlas-based automatic segmentation has shown some success at reducing this time burden on practitioners; however, this method often ...
BACKGROUND: Routinely delineating of important skeletal growth centers is imperative to mitigate radiation-induced growth abnormalities for pediatric cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. However, it is hindered by several practical problems, in...
PURPOSE: Fast and accurate outlining of the organs at risk (OARs) and high-risk clinical tumor volume (HRCTV) is especially important in high-dose-rate brachytherapy due to the highly time-intensive online treatment planning process and the high dose...
Deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) is widely used to reduce the cardiac dose in left-sided breast cancer radiotherapy. This study aimed to develop a deep learning chest X-ray model for cardiac dose prediction to select patients with a potentially hi...
Deep learning (DL) based approach aims to construct a full workflow solution for cervical cancer with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy (BT). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of EBRT planning structures de...
. To develop and evaluate a deep learning based fast volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plan generation method for prostate radiotherapy.. A customized 3D U-Net was trained and validated to predict initial segments at 90 evenly distributed contr...
BACKGROUND: We describe and evaluate a deep network algorithm which automatically contours organs at risk in the thorax and pelvis on computed tomography (CT) images for radiation treatment planning.

PURPOSE: Deep learning (DL) techniques are widely used in medical imaging and in particular for segmentation. Indeed, manual segmentation of organs at risk (OARs) is time-consuming and suffers from inter- and intra-observer segmentation variability. ...
The output of a deep learning (DL) auto-segmentation application should be reviewed, corrected if needed and approved before being used clinically. This verification procedure is labour-intensive, time-consuming and user-dependent, which potentially ...
