Quality assurance of late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance images: a deep learning classifier for confidence in the presence or absence of abnormality with potential to prompt real-time image optimization.

Journal of cardiovascular magnetic resonance : official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance
BACKGROUND: Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) of the myocardium has significant diagnostic and prognostic implications, with even small areas of enhancement being important. Distinguishing between definitely normal and definitely abnormal LGE images ...

Clinical target volume delineation quality assurance for MRI-guided prostate radiotherapy using deep learning with uncertainty estimation.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Previous studies on automatic delineation quality assurance (QA) have mostly focused on CT-based planning. As MRI-guided radiotherapy is increasingly utilized in prostate cancer treatment, there is a need for more research on ...

Predictive gamma passing rate of 3D detector array-based volumetric modulated arc therapy quality assurance for prostate cancer via deep learning.

Physical and engineering sciences in medicine
To predict the gamma passing rate (GPR) of the three-dimensional (3D) detector array-based volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) quality assurance (QA) for prostate cancer using a convolutional neural network (CNN) with the 3D dose distribution. On...

Applications of machine and deep learning to patient-specific IMRT/VMAT quality assurance.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
In order to deliver accurate and safe treatment to cancer patients in radiation therapy using advanced techniques such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric-arc radiation therapy (VMAT), patient specific quality assurance (QA...

Artificial intelligence for quality assurance in radiotherapy.

Cancer radiotherapie : journal de la Societe francaise de radiotherapie oncologique
In radiotherapy, patient-specific quality assurance is very time-consuming and causes machine downtime. It consists of testing (using measurement with a phantom and detector) if a modulated plan is correctly delivered by a treatment unit. Artificial ...

Use of Receiver Operating Curve Analysis and Machine Learning With an Independent Dose Calculation System Reduces the Number of Physical Dose Measurements Required for Patient-Specific Quality Assurance.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Our purpose was to assess the use of machine learning methods and Mobius 3D (M3D) dose calculation software to reduce the number of physical ion chamber (IC) dose measurements required for patient-specific quality assurance during corona vir...

A Novel Use of Artificial Intelligence to Examine Diversity and Hospital Performance.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: The US population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. Research suggests that cultural diversity within organizations can increase team potency and performance, yet this theory has not been explored in the field of surgery. F...

Error detection using a convolutional neural network with dose difference maps in patient-specific quality assurance for volumetric modulated arc therapy.

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)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of dose difference maps with a convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect multi-leaf collimator (MLC) positional errors in patient-specific quality assurance for volumetric modulated radiation therapy (...

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Radiation Therapy: Considerations for Future Curriculum Enhancement.

Journal of medical imaging and radiation sciences
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) approaches have caught the attention of many in health care. Current literature suggests there are many potential benefits that could transform future clinical workflows and decision making. Embe...
