Deep learning prediction of proton and photon dose distributions for paediatric abdominal tumours.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
OBJECTIVE: Dose prediction using deep learning networks prior to radiotherapy might lead tomore efficient modality selections. The study goal was to predict proton and photon dose distributions based on the patient-specific anatomy and to assess thei...

Evaluation of deep learning-based auto-segmentation algorithms for delineating clinical target volume and organs at risk involving data for 125 cervical cancer patients.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of a deep learning-based auto-segmentation mode to that of manual contouring by one medical resident, where both entities tried to mimic the delineation "habits" of the same clinical senior physician.

Using Auto-Segmentation to Reduce Contouring and Dose Inconsistency in Clinical Trials: The Simulated Impact on RTOG 0617.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Contouring inconsistencies are known but understudied in clinical radiation therapy trials. We applied auto-contouring to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 0617 dose escalation trial data. We hypothesized that the trial heart doses...

Evaluation of Deep Learning to Augment Image-Guided Radiotherapy for Head and Neck and Prostate Cancers.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Personalized radiotherapy planning depends on high-quality delineation of target tumors and surrounding organs at risk (OARs). This process puts additional time burdens on oncologists and introduces variability among both experts and inst...

Using deep learning to model the biological dose prediction on bulky lung cancer patients of partial stereotactic ablation radiotherapy.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop a biological dose prediction model considering tissue bio-reactions in addition to patient anatomy for achieving a more comprehensive evaluation of tumor control and promoting the automatic planning of bulky lung cancer.

Predicting voxel-level dose distributions for esophageal radiotherapy using densely connected network with dilated convolutions.

Physics in medicine and biology
This work aims to develop a voxel-level dose prediction framework by integrating distance information between PTV and OARs, as well as image information, into a densely-connected network (DCNN). Firstly, a four-channel feature map, consisting of a PT...

A deep learning model to predict dose-volume histograms of organs at risk in radiotherapy treatment plans.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop a deep learning-based model to predict achievable dose-volume histograms (DVHs) of organs at risk (OARs) for automation of inverse planning.

Development and validation of a deep learning algorithm for auto-delineation of clinical target volume and organs at risk in cervical cancer radiotherapy.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
PURPOSE: The delineation of the clinical target volume (CTV) is a crucial, laborious and subjective step in cervical cancer radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to propose and evaluate a novel end-to-end convolutional neural network (CNN) for full...

Complete abdomen and pelvis segmentation using U-net variant architecture.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Organ segmentation of computed tomography (CT) imaging is essential for radiotherapy treatment planning. Treatment planning requires segmentation not only of the affected tissue, but nearby healthy organs-at-risk, which is laborious and time...

Clinical evaluation of atlas- and deep learning-based automatic segmentation of multiple organs and clinical target volumes for breast cancer.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
Manual segmentation is the gold standard method for radiation therapy planning; however, it is time-consuming and prone to inter- and intra-observer variation, giving rise to interests in auto-segmentation methods. We evaluated the feasibility of dee...
