Quantitative and automatic plan-of-the-day assessment to facilitate adaptive radiotherapy in cervical cancer.

Physics in medicine and biology
To facilitate implementation of plan-of-the-day (POTD) selection for treating locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), we developed a POTD assessment tool for CBCT-guided radiotherapy (RT). A female pelvis segmentation model (U-Seg3) is combined with...

Feasibility study of a general model for synthetic CT generation in MRI-guided extracranial radiotherapy.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
This study aims to investigate the feasibility of a single general model to synthesize CT images across body sites, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, to support treatment planning for MRI-only radiotherapy. A total of 157 patients who received MRI-guided ...

Development of Multiparametric Prognostic Models for Stereotactic Magnetic Resonance Guided Radiation Therapy of Pancreatic Cancers.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Stereotactic magnetic resonance guided adaptive radiation therapy (SMART) is a new option for local treatment of unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, showing interesting survival and local control (LC) results. Despite this, some p...

A novel skeletal muscle quantitative method and deep learning-based sarcopenia diagnosis for cervical cancer patients treated with radiotherapy.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia is associated with decreased survival in cervical cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was widely used in image-guided radiotherapy. Sarcopenia is assessed by the skeletal muscle index...

Deep learning-based segmentation of head and neck organs at risk on CBCT images with dosimetric assessment for radiotherapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become an essential tool in head and neck cancer (HNC) radiotherapy (RT) treatment delivery. Automatic segmentation of the organs at risk (OARs) on CBCT can trigger and accelerate treatment replanning but is s...

Interstitial-guided automatic clinical tumor volume segmentation network for cervical cancer brachytherapy.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Automatic clinical tumor volume (CTV) delineation is pivotal to improving outcomes for interstitial brachytherapy cervical cancer. However, the prominent differences in gray values due to the interstitial needles bring great challenges on deep learni...

A feasibility study of lung tumor segmentation on kilo-voltage radiographic images with transfer learning: Toward tumor motion tracking in radiotherapy.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: To segment the lung tumor on kilo-voltage X-ray radiographic images acquired during treatment toward the markerless lung tumor tracking.

Deep learning-based quick MLC sequencing for MRI-guided online adaptive radiotherapy: a feasibility study for pancreatic cancer patients.

Physics in medicine and biology
One bottleneck of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided online adaptive radiotherapy is the time-consuming daily online replanning process. The current leaf sequencing method takes up to 10 min, with potential dosimetric degradation and small segme...

Personalized auto-segmentation for magnetic resonance imaging-guided adaptive radiotherapy of large brain metastases.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance-guided adaptive radiotherapy (MRgART) may improve the efficacy of large brain metastases (BMs)(≥2 cm), whereas the workflow requires optimized. This study develops a two-stage, personalized deep learning aut...

Feature-targeted deep learning framework for pulmonary tumorous Cone-beam CT (CBCT) enhancement with multi-task customized perceptual loss and feature-guided CycleGAN.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Thoracic Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is routinely collected during image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) to provide updated patient anatomy information for lung cancer treatments. However, CBCT images often suffer from streaking artifacts an...
