Comparison of Deep Learning-Based and Patch-Based Methods for Pseudo-CT Generation in MRI-Based Prostate Dose Planning.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Deep learning methods (DLMs) have recently been proposed to generate pseudo-CT (pCT) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based dose planning. This study aims to evaluate and compare DLMs (U-Net and generative adversarial network [GAN]) usin...

A machine learning-assisted decision-support model to better identify patients with prostate cancer requiring an extended pelvic lymph node dissection.

BJU international
OBJECTIVES: To develop a machine learning (ML)-assisted model to identify candidates for extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) in prostate cancer by integrating clinical, biopsy, and precisely defined magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings...

Sex estimation: a comparison of techniques based on binary logistic, probit and cumulative probit regression, linear and quadratic discriminant analysis, neural networks, and naïve Bayes classification using ordinal variables.

International journal of legal medicine
The performance of seven classification methods, binary logistic (BLR), probit (PR) and cumulative probit (CPR) regression, linear (LDA) and quadratic (QDA) discriminant analysis, artificial neural networks (ANN), and naïve Bayes classification (NBC)...

mDixon-Based Synthetic CT Generation for PET Attenuation Correction on Abdomen and Pelvis Jointly Using Transfer Fuzzy Clustering and Active Learning-Based Classification.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
We propose a new method for generating synthetic CT images from modified Dixon (mDixon) MR data. The synthetic CT is used for attenuation correction (AC) when reconstructing PET data on abdomen and pelvis. While MR does not intrinsically contain any ...

Deep learning for automated segmentation of pelvic muscles, fat, and bone from CT studies for body composition assessment.

Skeletal radiology
OBJECTIVE: To develop a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to automatically segment an axial CT image of the pelvis for body composition measures. We hypothesized that a deep CNN approach would achieve high accuracy when compared to manual segme...

Is a Drain Needed After Robotic Radical Prostatectomy With or Without Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection? Results of a Single-Center Randomized Clinical Trial.

Journal of endourology
To investigate by means of a randomized clinical trial the safety of no drain in the pelvic cavity after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with or without extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND). From May to December 2016, 112 conse...

Deep learning approaches using 2D and 3D convolutional neural networks for generating male pelvic synthetic computed tomography from magnetic resonance imaging.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The improved soft tissue contrast of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to computed tomography (CT) makes it a useful imaging modality for radiotherapy treatment planning. Even when MR images are acquired for treatment planning, the s...

Dosimetric study on learning-based cone-beam CT correction in adaptive radiation therapy.

Medical dosimetry : official journal of the American Association of Medical Dosimetrists
INTRODUCTION: Cone-beam CT (CBCT) image quality is important for its quantitative analysis in adaptive radiation therapy. However, due to severe artifacts, the CBCTs are primarily used for verifying patient setup only so far. We have developed a lear...

Automatic classification of tissues on pelvic MRI based on relaxation times and support vector machine.

PloS one
Tissue segmentation and classification in MRI is a challenging task due to a lack of signal intensity standardization. MRI signal is dependent on the acquisition protocol, the coil profile, the scanner type, etc. While we can compute quantitative phy...

Learning-based CBCT correction using alternating random forest based on auto-context model.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Quantitative Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging is increasing in demand for precise image-guided radiotherapy because it provides a foundation for advanced image-guided techniques, including accurate treatment setup, online tumor delineation, and p...
