PURPOSE: To develop a combined radiomics and deep learning (DL) model in predicting radiation esophagitis (RE) of a grade ≥ 2 for patients with esophageal cancer (EC) underwent volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) based on computed tomography (CT)...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Various deep learning auto-segmentation (DLAS) models have been proposed, some of which have been commercialized. However, the issue of performance degradation is notable when pretrained models are deployed in the clinic. This...
PURPOSE: This study aims to develop an ensemble machine learning-based (EML-based) risk prediction model for radiation dermatitis (RD) in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing proton radiotherapy, with the goal of achieving superior predictiv...
