Personalized Composite Dosimetric Score-Based Machine Learning Model of Severe Radiation-Induced Lymphopenia Among Patients With Esophageal Cancer.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Radiation-induced lymphopenia (RIL) is common among patients undergoing radiation therapy (RT)' Severe RIL has been linked to adverse outcomes. The severity and risk of RIL can be predicted from baseline clinical characteristics and dosimetr...

Enhancing Precision in Cardiac Segmentation for Magnetic Resonance-Guided Radiation Therapy Through Deep Learning.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Cardiac substructure dose metrics are more strongly linked to late cardiac morbidities than to whole-heart metrics. Magnetic resonance (MR)-guided radiation therapy (MRgRT) enables substructure visualization during daily localization, allowi...

Interpretable deep learning insights: Unveiling the role of 1 Gy volume on lymphopenia after radiotherapy in breast cancer.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND: Lymphopenia is known for its significance on poor survivals in breast cancer patients. Considering full dosimetric data, this study aimed to develop and validate predictive models for lymphopenia after radiotherapy (RT) in breast cancer.

Generalizability of deep learning in organ-at-risk segmentation: A transfer learning study in cervical brachytherapy.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
PURPOSE: Deep learning can automate delineation in radiation therapy, reducing time and variability. Yet, its efficacy varies across different institutions, scanners, or settings, emphasizing the need for adaptable and robust models in clinical envir...

Novel dosimetric validation of a commercial CT scanner based deep learning automated contour solution for prostate radiotherapy.

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: OAR delineation accuracy influences: (i) a patient's optimised dose distribution (PD), (ii) the reported doses (RD) presented at approval, which represent plan quality. This study utilised a novel dosimetric validation methodology, comprehen...

Error detection for radiotherapy planning validation based on deep learning networks.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: Quality assurance (QA) of patient-specific treatment plans for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) necessitates prior validation. However, the standard methodology exhibits deficiencies...

A deep learning-based 3D Prompt-nnUnet model for automatic segmentation in brachytherapy of postoperative endometrial carcinoma.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: To create and evaluate a three-dimensional (3D) Prompt-nnUnet module that utilizes the prompts-based model combined with 3D nnUnet for producing the rapid and consistent autosegmentation of high-risk clinical target volume (HR CTV) and organ...

Dosimetric impact of contour editing on CT and MRI deep-learning autosegmentation for brain OARs.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: To establish the clinical applicability of deep-learning organ-at-risk autocontouring models (DL-AC) for brain radiotherapy. The dosimetric impact of contour editing, prior to model training, on performance was evaluated for both CT and MRI-...

Predicting treatment plan approval probability for high-dose-rate brachytherapy of cervical cancer using adversarial deep learning.

Physics in medicine and biology
Predicting the probability of having the plan approved by the physician is important for automatic treatment planning. Driven by the mathematical foundation of deep learning that can use a deep neural network to represent functions accurately and fle...

Prospective validation of a machine learning model for applicator and hybrid interstitial needle selection in high-dose-rate (HDR) cervical brachytherapy.

Brachytherapy
PURPOSE: To Demonstrate the clinical validation of a machine learning (ML) model for applicator and interstitial needle prediction in gynecologic brachytherapy through a prospective clinical study in a single institution.
