PURPOSE: This study aims to develop a deep learning method that skips the time-consuming inverse optimization process for automatic generation of machine-deliverable intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans.
BACKGROUND: Automated catheter localization for ultrasound guided high-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy faces challenges relating to imaging noise and artifacts. To date, catheter reconstruction during the clinical procedure is performed manually. De...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To develop a novel deep learning algorithm of sequential analysis, Seq2Seq, for predicting weekly anatomical changes of lung tumor and esophagus during definitive radiotherapy, incorporate the potential tumor shrinkage into a ...
BACKGROUND: This paper describes the development of a predicted electronic portal imaging device (EPID) transmission image (TI) using Monte Carlo (MC) and deep learning (DL). The measured and predicted TI were compared for two-dimensional in vivo rad...
PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is the gold standard in image-guided brachytherapy (IGBT) due to its superior soft-tissue contrast for target and organs-at-risk (OARs) delineation. Accurate and fast segmentation of MR images are very importa...
PURPOSE: To propose a clinically feasible automatic planning solution for external beam intensity-modulated radiotherapy, including dose prediction via a deep learning and voxel-based optimization strategy.
BACKGROUND: The evaluation of automatic segmentation algorithms is commonly performed using geometric metrics. An analysis based on dosimetric parameters might be more relevant in clinical practice but is often lacking in the literature. The aim of t...
PURPOSE: Typically, the current dose prediction models are limited to small amounts of data and require retraining for a specific site, often leading to suboptimal performance. We propose a site-agnostic, three-dimensional dose distribution predictio...
PURPOSE: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is frequently used for accurate image-guided radiation therapy. However, the poor CBCT image quality prevents its further clinical use. Thus, it is important to improve the HU accuracy and structure prese...
