Implementation of deep learning-based auto-segmentation for radiotherapy planning structures: a workflow study at two cancer centers.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
PURPOSE: We recently described the validation of deep learning-based auto-segmented contour (DC) models for organs at risk (OAR) and clinical target volumes (CTV). In this study, we evaluate the performance of implemented DC models in the clinical ra...

A review of deep learning based methods for medical image multi-organ segmentation.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
Deep learning has revolutionized image processing and achieved the-state-of-art performance in many medical image segmentation tasks. Many deep learning-based methods have been published to segment different parts of the body for different medical ap...

Metrics to evaluate the performance of auto-segmentation for radiation treatment planning: A critical review.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
Advances in artificial intelligence-based methods have led to the development and publication of numerous systems for auto-segmentation in radiotherapy. These systems have the potential to decrease contour variability, which has been associated with ...

A deep learning-based auto-segmentation system for organs-at-risk on whole-body computed tomography images for radiation therapy.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Delineating organs at risk (OARs) on computed tomography (CT) images is an essential step in radiation therapy; however, it is notoriously time-consuming and prone to inter-observer variation. Herein, we report a deep learning...

Deep learning-based auto-segmentation of organs at risk in high-dose rate brachytherapy of cervical cancer.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Delineation of organs at risk (OARs), such as the bladder, rectum and sigmoid, plays an important role in the delivery of optimal absorbed dose to the target owing to the steep gradient in high-dose rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT)...

Evaluation of a highly refined prediction model in knowledge-based volumetric modulated arc therapy planning for cervical cancer.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To explore whether a highly refined dose volume histograms (DVH) prediction model can improve the accuracy and reliability of knowledge-based volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) planning for cervical cancer.

Deep learning dose prediction for IMRT of esophageal cancer: The effect of data quality and quantity on model performance.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of data quality and quantity on the performance of deep learning (DL) models, for dose prediction of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) of esophageal cancer.

Clinical feasibility of deep learning-based auto-segmentation of target volumes and organs-at-risk in breast cancer patients after breast-conserving surgery.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: In breast cancer patients receiving radiotherapy (RT), accurate target delineation and reduction of radiation doses to the nearby normal organs is important. However, manual clinical target volume (CTV) and organs-at-risk (OARs) segmentat...

Self-channel-and-spatial-attention neural network for automated multi-organ segmentation on head and neck CT images.

Physics in medicine and biology
Accurate segmentation of organs at risk (OARs) is necessary for adaptive head and neck (H&N) cancer treatment planning, but manual delineation is tedious, slow, and inconsistent. A self-channel-and-spatial-attention neural network (SCSA-Net) is devel...
