Prostate cancer (PrCa) is the second most common cancer among men in the United States. The gold standard for detecting PrCa is the examination of prostate needle core biopsies. Diagnosis can be challenging, especially for small, well-differentiated ...
BACKGROUND: Structure delineation is a necessary, yet time-consuming manual procedure in radiotherapy. Recently, convolutional neural networks have been proposed to speed-up and automatise this procedure, obtaining promising results. With the advent ...
IMPORTANCE: Histopathological diagnoses of tumors from tissue biopsy after hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) dye staining is the criterion standard for oncological care, but H&E staining requires trained operators, dyes and reagents, and precious tissue sa...
PURPOSE: Urological oncologists have difficulty providing optimal personalized care due to rapid alterations in scientific research results, medical advancements, and treatment guidelines. IBM's Watson for Oncology (WFO) is an artificial intelligence...
OBJECTIVE: To assess if adding perfusion information from dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE MRI) acquisition schemes with high spatiotemporal resolution to T2w/DWI sequences as input features for a gradient boosting machine (GBM) machine learning (ML) c...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the noninferiority of Day 30 dosimetry between a machine learning-based treatment planning system for prostate low-dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy and the conventional, manual planning technique. As a ...
