Automatic lung dose painting for functional lung avoidance radiotherapy through multi-modality-guided dose prediction.

Physics in medicine and biology
This study aims to develop a multi-modality-guided dose prediction (MMDP)-based auto-planning algorithm for functional lung avoidance radiotherapy (FLART) guided by voxel-wise lung function images.The proposed auto-planning algorithm consists of a no...

Deep learning-based prediction of dynamic blood dose estimates for head-and-neck cancer.

Physics in medicine and biology
During radiotherapy, the radiation dose delivered to circulating blood can result in radiation-induced lymphopenia, which is correlated with adverse clinical outcomes like lower survival. Increasingly complex models to simulate radiation dose deliver...

Fast operating room scattered radiation calculation in x-ray guided interventions by using deep learning.

Journal of radiological protection : official journal of the Society for Radiological Protection
Protecting medical personnel from the harmful effects of scattered ionising radiation during x-ray-guided procedures is a critical concern. Due to the complex and invisible nature of x-rays, monitoring radiation exposure has been challenging. Existin...

Scout-Dose-TCM: direct and prospective scout-based estimation of personalized organ and effective doses from tube current modulated CT exams.

Physics in medicine and biology
This study proposes Scout-Dose-TCM for direct, prospective estimation of organ-level and effective doses under tube current modulation (TCM) and compares its performance with two established methods.Contrast-enhanced chest-abdomen-pelvis CT exams fro...

Incorporating and quantifying deformable image registration uncertainties in dose accumulation: a feasibility study on the benefit of online adaptive therapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
. Accurate dose accumulation relies on deformable image registration (DIR) to track dose across multiple images. However, DIR introduces uncertainties that can impact cumulative dose distributions. In this study, we present a probabilistic framework ...

Neural network-driven direct CBCT-based dose calculation for head-and-neck proton treatment planning.

Physics in medicine and biology
Accurate dose calculation on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images is essential for modern proton treatment planning workflows, particularly when accounting for inter-fractional anatomical changes in adaptive treatment scenarios. Traditional CB...

Metaheuristic-optimized generative adversarial network for enhanced sparse-view low-dose CT reconstruction.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
Sparse-view low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) imaging poses difficulties in preserving image quality while reducing radiation exposure. Recent research has focused extensively on artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce artifacts in LDCT. This paper ...

Nuklearmedizin. Nuclear medicine
This study aimed to determine the optimized scan time and injected activity regimen for clinical Ga DOTATATE PET/CT in neuroendocrine tumor imaging through an experimental approach without using machine learning techniques.A NEMA PET body phantom was...

Impact of contrast enhancement boost and super-resolution deep learning reconstruction on pediatric congenital heart disease CTA scans: ultra-low contrast dose.

BMC medical imaging
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of using contrast enhancement boost (CE-Boost) combined with super-resolution deep learning reconstruction (SR-DLR) to reduce contrast agent dosage in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD).

Impact of patient-specific deep learning lung organs-at-risk segmentation on accumulated dose in online adaptive 0.35 T MR-guided radiotherapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
Online adaptation in magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) for lung cancer is hindered by time-consuming organs-at-risk (OARs) recontouring on daily MR images (dMRIs) and inter-/intra-observer variability. Deep learning auto-segmenta...
