An MRI-only workflow requires synthetic computed tomography (sCT) images to enable dose calculation. This study evaluated the dosimetric and patient positioning accuracy of deep learning-generated sCT for liver radiotherapy.sCT images were generated ...
Robotic beds for the treatment of positional obstructive sleep apnea - A randomized cross-over pilot trial.
Sleep medicine
Feb 20, 2025
BACKGROUND: Interventions leading to avoidance of supine position and thus reducing the likelihood of upper airway collapse during sleep are a treatment approach for positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA). The aim of this randomized cross-over tri...
Emergency Position Recovery Using Forward Kinematics in Robotic Patient Positioning Systems for Radiosurgery.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Feb 16, 2025
Precise patient positioning is paramount in radiosurgery to ensure the accurate targeting of tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. This study focuses on the development and validation of a robust forward kinematics (FK) model...
Optimizing MR-based attenuation correction in hybrid PET/MR using deep learning: validation with a flatbed insert and consistent patient positioning.
European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging
Feb 6, 2025
PURPOSE: To address the challenges of verifying MR-based attenuation correction (MRAC) in PET/MR due to CT positional mismatches and alignment issues, this study utilized a flatbed insert and arms-down positioning during PET/CT scans to achieve preci...
Automated contouring for breast cancer radiotherapy in the isocentric lateral decubitus position: a neural network-based solution for enhanced precision and efficiency.
Strahlentherapie und Onkologie : Organ der Deutschen Rontgengesellschaft ... [et al]
Feb 3, 2025
BACKGROUND: Adjuvant radiotherapy is essential for reducing local recurrence and improving survival in breast cancer patients, but it carries a risk of ischemic cardiac toxicity, which increases with heart exposure. The isocentric lateral decubitus p...
The potential use of deep learning in performing autocorrection of setup errors in patients receiving radiotherapy.
Radiography (London, England : 1995)
Jan 31, 2025
INTRODUCTION: Modern radiotherapy practice relies on multiple approaches for verification of patient positioning. All of these techniques require experienced radiotherapists who understand the anatomical landmarks and the limitations of the used veri...
