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.

Efficient dose-volume histogram-based pretreatment patient-specific quality assurance methodology with combined deep learning and machine learning models for volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Weak correlation between gamma passing rates and dose differences in target volumes and organs at risk (OARs) has been reported in several studies. Evaluation on the differences between planned dose-volume histogram (DVH) and reconstructe...

Clinical evaluation of deep learning and atlas-based auto-segmentation for critical organs at risk in radiation therapy.

Journal of medical radiation sciences
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 ...

Auto-segmentation of important centers of growth in the pediatric skeleton to consider during radiation therapy based on deep learning.

Medical physics
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...
