PURPOSE: The accuracy of the CyberKnife Synchrony Respiratory Tracking System is dependent on the breathing pattern of a patient. Therefore, the tracking error in each patient must be determined. Support vector regression (SVR) can be used to easily ...
The study aimed to analyze potential prognostic factors in patients treated with robotic radiosurgery for brain metastases irrespective of primary tumor location and create a simple prognostic score that can be used without a full diagnostic workup. ...
PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to improve the performance of machine learning (ML) models in predicting response of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) by integrating image features from pre-treatment c...
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the epistemic (or fuzzy) uncertainty, arising due to limited data samples in the measurement of the output factors (OFs) of the small fields using Fuzzy Set Theory (FST).
PURPOSE: Choroidal metastases occur in many patients with systemic cancer and limit quality of life due to visual deterioration or pain. The limited prognosis of these patients demand treatment approaches that aim at a quick response and easy applica...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied with considerable success in the fields of radiology, pathology, and neurosurgery. It is expected that AI will soon be used to optimize strategies for the clinical management of patients based on intensiv...
Detection of brain metastases is a paramount task in cancer management due both to the number of high-risk patients and the difficulty of achieving consistent detection. In this study, we aim to improve the accuracy of automated brain metastasis (BM)...
Due to the inter- and intra- variation of respiratory motion, it is highly desired to provide real-time volumetric images during the treatment delivery of lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for accurate and active motion management. In t...
PURPOSE: To develop a biological dose prediction model considering tissue bio-reactions in addition to patient anatomy for achieving a more comprehensive evaluation of tumor control and promoting the automatic planning of bulky lung cancer.
