Towards real-time conformal palliative treatment of spine metastases: A deep learning approach for Hounsfield Unit recovery of cone beam CT images.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: The extension of onboard cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging for real-time treatment planning is constrained by limitations in image quality. Synthetic CT (sCT) generation using deep learning provides a potential solution to these limitations.

Breast radiotherapy planning: A decision-making framework using deep learning.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Effective breast cancer treatment planning requires balancing tumor control while minimizing radiation exposure to healthy tissues. Choosing between intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and three-dimensional conformal radiation th...

Deep-learning Method for the Prediction of Three-Dimensional Dose Distribution for Left Breast Cancer Conformal Radiation Therapy.

Clinical oncology (Royal College of Radiologists (Great Britain))
AIMS: An increase in the demand of a new generation of radiotherapy planning systems based on learning approaches has been reported. At this stage, the new approach is able to improve the planning speed while saving a reasonable level of plan quality...

Application of a machine learning method to whole brain white matter injury after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Cancer imaging : the official publication of the International Cancer Imaging Society
BACKGROUND: The purpose/aim of this study was to 1) use magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), fibre bundle/tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) and machine learning methods to study changes in the white matter (WM) structure and whole b...

System Integration and In Vivo Testing of a Robot for Ultrasound Guidance and Monitoring During Radiotherapy.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
We are developing a cooperatively controlled robot system for image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) in which a clinician and robot share control of a 3-D ultrasound (US) probe. IGRT involves two main steps: 1) planning/simulation and 2) treatment del...

Accelerated partial breast irradiation using robotic radiotherapy: a dosimetric comparison with tomotherapy and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is a new breast treatment modality aiming to reduce treatment time using hypo fractionation. Compared to conventional whole breast irradiation that takes 5 to 6 weeks, APBI is reported to indu...

Comparison of Planning Quality and Efficiency Between Conventional and Knowledge-based Algorithms in Nasopharyngeal Cancer Patients Using Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is widely used to achieve a highly conformal dose and improve treatment outcome. However, plan quality and planning time are institute and planner dependent, and no standardized tool exists to rec...
