External-beam radiotherapy followed by high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy is the standard-of-care for treating gynecologic cancers. The enhanced soft-tissue contrast provided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) makes it a valuable imaging modality fo...
PURPOSE: The superior soft-tissue contrast achieved using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to x-ray computed tomography (CT) has led to the popularization of MRI-guided radiation therapy (MR-IGRT), especially in recent years with the advent ...
PURPOSE: Deep learning (DL)-based super-resolution (SR) reconstruction for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has recently been receiving attention due to the significant improvement in spatial resolution compared to conventional SR techniques. Challen...
OBJECTIVE: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has been increasingly applied for malignant meningiomas as an alternative to conventionally fractioned radiation therapy. We performed a retrospective analysis of an institutional patient cohort with maligna...

PURPOSE: The detection of intestinal/rectal gas is very important during image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) of prostate cancer patients because intestinal/rectal gas increases the inter- and intra-fractional prostate motion. We propose a deep conv...

PURPOSE: Xerostomia commonly occurs in patients who undergo head and neck radiation therapy and can seriously affect patients' quality of life. In this study, we developed a xerostomia prediction model with radiation treatment data using a 3-dimensio...

PURPOSE: Deep learning is an emerging technique that allows us to capture imaging information beyond the visually recognizable level of a human being. Because of the anatomic characteristics and location, on-board target verification for radiation de...
