Segmentation of organs-at-risk in cervical cancer CT images with a convolutional neural network.

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: We introduced and evaluated an end-to-end organs-at-risk (OARs) segmentation model that can provide accurate and consistent OARs segmentation results in much less time.

A hybrid automated treatment planning solution for esophageal cancer.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate a hybrid automated treatment planning (HAP) solution that combines knowledge-based planning (KBP) and script-based planning for esophageal cancer.

Evaluation of complexity and deliverability of prostate cancer treatment plans designed with a knowledge-based VMAT planning technique.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Knowledge-based planning (KBP) techniques have been reported to improve plan quality, efficiency, and consistency in radiation therapy. However, plan complexity and deliverability have not been addressed previously for treatment plans guided...

Comparing deep learning-based auto-segmentation of organs at risk and clinical target volumes to expert inter-observer variability in radiotherapy planning.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND: Deep learning-based auto-segmented contours (DC) aim to alleviate labour intensive contouring of organs at risk (OAR) and clinical target volumes (CTV). Most previous DC validation studies have a limited number of expert observers for com...

Comparative clinical evaluation of atlas and deep-learning-based auto-segmentation of organ structures in liver cancer.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Accurate and standardized descriptions of organs at risk (OARs) are essential in radiation therapy for treatment planning and evaluation. Traditionally, physicians have contoured patient images manually, which, is time-consuming and subje...

Winter is over: The use of Artificial Intelligence to individualise radiation therapy for breast cancer.

Breast (Edinburgh, Scotland)
Artificial intelligence demonstrated its value for automated contouring of organs at risk and target volumes as well as for auto-planning of radiation dose distributions in terms of saving time, increasing consistency, and improving dose-volumes para...

A simple knowledge-based tool for stereotactic radiosurgery pre-planning.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
We studied the dosimetry of single-isocenter treatment plans generated to treat a solitary intracranial lesion using linac-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). A common metric for evaluating SRS plan quality is the volume of normal brain tissue irr...

Improving automatic delineation for head and neck organs at risk by Deep Learning Contouring.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
INTRODUCTION: Adequate head and neck (HN) organ-at-risk (OAR) delineation is crucial for HN radiotherapy and for investigating the relationships between radiation dose to OARs and radiation-induced side effects. The automatic contouring algorithms th...

Synthetic MRI-aided multi-organ segmentation on male pelvic CT using cycle consistent deep attention network.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Manual contouring is labor intensive, and subject to variations in operator knowledge, experience and technique. This work aims to develop an automated computed tomography (CT) multi-organ segmentation method for prostate canc...

Future of Radiotherapy in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.

The British journal of radiology
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignancy with unique clinical biological profiles such as associated Epstein-Barr virus infection and high radiosensitivity. Radiotherapy has long been recognized as the mainstay for the treatment of NPC. However...
