Evaluation of auto-segmentation accuracy of cloud-based artificial intelligence and atlas-based models.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Contour delineation, a crucial process in radiation oncology, is time-consuming and inaccurate due to inter-observer variation has been a critical issue in this process. An atlas-based automatic segmentation was developed to improve the d...

Deep learning method for prediction of patient-specific dose distribution in breast cancer.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Patient-specific dose prediction improves the efficiency and quality of radiation treatment planning and reduces the time required to find the optimal plan. In this study, a patient-specific dose prediction model was developed for a left-...

Clinical implementation of deep-learning based auto-contouring tools-Experience of three French radiotherapy centers.

Cancer radiotherapie : journal de la Societe francaise de radiotherapie oncologique
Deep-learning (DL)-based auto-contouring solutions have recently been proposed as a convincing alternative to decrease workload of target volumes and organs-at-risk (OAR) delineation in radiotherapy planning and improve inter-observer consistency. Ho...

Deep learning for segmentation in radiation therapy planning: a review.

Journal of medical imaging and radiation oncology
Segmentation of organs and structures, as either targets or organs-at-risk, has a significant influence on the success of radiation therapy. Manual segmentation is a tedious and time-consuming task for clinicians, and inter-observer variability can a...

Development of in-house fully residual deep convolutional neural network-based segmentation software for the male pelvic CT.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to (1) develop a fully residual deep convolutional neural network (CNN)-based segmentation software for computed tomography image segmentation of the male pelvic region and (2) demonstrate its efficiency in the male pelvi...

A feasibility study on deep learning-based individualized 3D dose distribution prediction.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Radiation therapy treatment planning is a trial-and-error, often time-consuming process. An approximately optimal dose distribution corresponding to a specific patient's anatomy can be predicted by using pre-trained deep learning (DL) models...

Interobserver variability in organ at risk delineation in head and neck cancer.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: In radiotherapy inaccuracy in organ at risk (OAR) delineation can impact treatment plan optimisation and treatment plan evaluation. Brouwer et al. showed significant interobserver variability (IOV) in OAR delineation in head and neck canc...

Automation in radiotherapy treatment planning: Examples of use in clinical practice and future trends for a complete automated workflow.

Cancer radiotherapie : journal de la Societe francaise de radiotherapie oncologique
Modern radiotherapy treatment planning is a complex and time-consuming process that requires the skills of experienced users to obtain quality plans. Since the early 2000s, the automation of this planning process has become an important research topi...

Technical Note: Dose prediction for radiation therapy using feature-based losses and One Cycle Learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To present the technical details of the runner-up model in the open knowledge-based planning (OpenKBP) challenge for the dose-volume histogram (DVH) stream. The model was designed to ensure simple and reproducible training, without the neces...
