Radiomics in stratification of pancreatic cystic lesions: Machine learning in action.

Cancer letters
Pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) are well-known precursors of pancreatic cancer. Their diagnosis can be challenging as their behavior varies from benign to malignant disease. Precise and timely management of malignant pancreatic cysts might prevent t...

Predicting gamma passing rates for portal dosimetry-based IMRT QA using machine learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) quality assurance (QA) measurements are routinely performed prior to treatment delivery to verify dose calculation and delivery accuracy. In this work, we applied a machine learning-based approach...

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop and validate a robust and accurate registration pipeline for automatic contour propagation for online adaptive Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT) of prostate cancer using elastix software and deep learning.

Prediction of dosimetric accuracy for VMAT plans using plan complexity parameters via machine learning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The dosimetric accuracies of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans were predicted using plan complexity parameters via machine learning.

Dosimetric evaluation of synthetic CT for head and neck radiotherapy generated by a patch-based three-dimensional convolutional neural network.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate a patch-based convolutional neural network (CNN) to generate synthetic computed tomography (sCT) images for magnetic resonance (MR)-only workflow for radiotherapy of head and neck tumors. A patch-based deep learning m...

Estimation of the radiation dose in pregnancy: an automated patient-specific model using convolutional neural networks.

European radiology
OBJECTIVES: The conceptus dose during diagnostic imaging procedures for pregnant patients raises health concerns owing to the high radiosensitivity of the developing embryo/fetus. The aim of this work is to develop a methodology for automated constru...

Incorporating dosimetric features into the prediction of 3D VMAT dose distributions using deep convolutional neural network.

Physics in medicine and biology
An accurate prediction of achievable dose distribution on a patient specific basis would greatly improve IMRT/VMAT planning in both efficiency and quality. Recently machine learning techniques have been proposed for IMRT dose prediction based on pati...

Prediction of response after chemoradiation for esophageal cancer using a combination of dosimetry and CT radiomics.

European radiology
PURPOSE: To investigate the treatment response prediction feasibility and accuracy of an integrated model combining computed tomography (CT) radiomic features and dosimetric parameters for patients with esophageal cancer (EC) who underwent concurrent...

Stochastic frontier analysis as knowledge-based model to improve sparing of organs-at-risk for VMAT-treated prostate cancer.

Physics in medicine and biology
Stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) is used as a novel knowledge-based technique in order to develop a predictive model of dosimetric features from significant geometric parameters describing a patient morphology. 406 patients treated with VMAT for pr...

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...
