PURPOSE: The segmentation of organs at risk (OAR) is a required precondition for the cancer treatment with image- guided radiation therapy. The automation of the segmentation task is therefore of high clinical relevance. Deep learning (DL)-based medi...
PURPOSE: Adaptive radiotherapy (ART), especially online ART, effectively accounts for positioning errors and anatomical changes. One key component of online ART process is accurately and efficiently delineating organs at risk (OARs) and targets on on...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S): Precise segmentation of clinical target volumes (CTV) in breast cancer is indispensable for state-of-the art radiotherapy. Despite international guidelines, significant intra- and interobserver variability exists, negatively imp...
OBJECTIVE: Precise segmentation of human organs and anatomic structures (especially organs at risk, OARs) is the basis and prerequisite for the treatment planning of radiation therapy. In order to ensure rapid and accurate design of radiotherapy trea...

PURPOSE: Adaptive radiotherapy requires auto-segmentation in patients with head and neck (HN) cancer. In the current study, we propose an auto-segmentation model using a generative adversarial network (GAN) on magnetic resonance (MR) images of HN can...
BACKGROUND: Radiation treatment is considered an effective and the most common treatment option for prostate cancer. The treatment planning process requires accurate and precise segmentation of the prostate and organs at risk (OARs), which is laborio...
