Segmentation of multiple Organs-at-Risk associated with brain tumors based on coarse-to-fine stratified networks.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Delineation of Organs-at-Risks (OARs) is an important step in radiotherapy treatment planning. As manual delineation is time-consuming, labor-intensive and affected by inter- and intra-observer variability, a robust and efficient automati...

A novel mathematical model to generate semi-automated optimal IMRT treatment plan based on predicted 3D dose distribution and prescribed dose.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: In recent years, with the development of artificial intelligence and deep learning techniques, it has become possible to predict the three-dimensional distribution dose (3D ) of a new patient based on the treatment plans of similar recent...

Automatic segmentation of kidneys in computed tomography images using U-Net.

Cancer radiotherapie : journal de la Societe francaise de radiotherapie oncologique
PURPOSE: Accurate segmentation of target volumes and organs at risk from computed tomography (CT) images is essential for treatment planning in radiation therapy. The segmentation task is often done manually making it time-consuming. Besides, it is b...

Deep Learning-Based Dose Prediction for Automated, Individualized Quality Assurance of Head and Neck Radiation Therapy Plans.

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: This study aimed to use deep learning-based dose prediction to assess head and neck (HN) plan quality and identify suboptimal plans.

A clinical and time savings evaluation of a deep learning automatic contouring algorithm.

Medical dosimetry : official journal of the American Association of Medical Dosimetrists
Automatic contouring algorithms may streamline clinical workflows by reducing normal organ-at-risk (OAR) contouring time. Here we report the first comprehensive quantitative and qualitative evaluation, along with time savings assessment for a prototy...

Deep learning architecture with transformer and semantic field alignment for voxel-level dose prediction on brain tumors.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The use of convolution neural networks (CNN) to accurately predict dose distributions can accelerate intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) planning. The purpose of our study is to develop a novel deep learning architecture for precise...

Improved accuracy of auto-segmentation of organs at risk in radiotherapy planning for nasopharyngeal carcinoma based on fully convolutional neural network deep learning.

Oral oncology
OBJECTIVE: We examined a modified encoder-decoder architecture-based fully convolutional neural network, OrganNet, for simultaneous auto-segmentation of 24 organs at risk (OARs) in the head and neck, followed by validation tests and evaluation of cli...

Patient-specific transfer learning for auto-segmentation in adaptive 0.35 T MRgRT of prostate cancer: a bi-centric evaluation.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Online adaptive radiation therapy (RT) using hybrid magnetic resonance linear accelerators (MR-Linacs) can administer a tailored radiation dose at each treatment fraction. Daily MR imaging followed by organ and target segmentation adjustm...

Deep learning empowered volume delineation of whole-body organs-at-risk for accelerated radiotherapy.

Nature communications
In radiotherapy for cancer patients, an indispensable process is to delineate organs-at-risk (OARs) and tumors. However, it is the most time-consuming step as manual delineation is always required from radiation oncologists. Herein, we propose a ligh...

Comparison of atlas-based and deep learning methods for organs at risk delineation on head-and-neck CT images using an automated treatment planning system.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To investigate the performance of head-and-neck (HN) organs-at-risk (OAR) automatic segmentation (AS) using four atlas-based (ABAS) and two deep learning (DL) solutions.
