PURPOSE: To develop and test a three-dimensional (3D) deep learning model for predicting 3D voxel-wise dose distributions for intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).
Radiomic features achieve promising results in cancer diagnosis, treatment response prediction, and survival prediction. Our goal is to compare the handcrafted (explicitly designed) and deep learning (DL)-based radiomic features extracted from pre-tr...

PURPOSE: EPID dosimetry in the Unity MR-Linac system allows for reconstruction of absolute dose distributions within the patient geometry. Dose reconstruction is accurate for the parts of the beam arriving at the EPID through the MRI central unattenu...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Manual delineation of clinical target volumes (CTVs) and organs at risk (OARs) is time-consuming, and automatic contouring tools lack clinical validation. We aimed to construct and validate the use of convolutional neural netw...

PURPOSE: To analyse the classification performances of a decision tree method applied to predictor variables in survival outcome in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). The aim was to offer a critical analysis to better apply tree-bas...
BACKGROUND: Few investigations to date assessing the effectiveness of robot-assisted intersphincteric resection (ISR) have included sufficient patients and follow-up period. This study assessed the utility and safety of robot-assisted ISR by comparin...
PURPOSE: To develop and validate an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model based on texture analysis of high-resolution T2 weighted MR images able 1) to predict pathologic Complete Response (CR) and 2) to identify non-responders (NR) among patients with ...
