A method of using deep learning to predict three-dimensional dose distributions for intensity-modulated radiotherapy of rectal cancer.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: To develop and test a three-dimensional (3D) deep learning model for predicting 3D voxel-wise dose distributions for intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).

Deep learning-based radiomic features for improving neoadjuvant chemoradiation response prediction in locally advanced rectal cancer.

Physics in medicine and biology
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...

A Deep Learning-based correction to EPID dosimetry for attenuation and scatter in the Unity MR-Linac system.

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: 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...

Automatic delineation of the clinical target volume and organs at risk by deep learning for rectal cancer postoperative radiotherapy.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
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...

Decision tree algorithm in locally advanced rectal cancer: an example of over-interpretation and misuse of a machine learning approach.

Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology
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...

Oncological and anorectal functional outcomes of robot-assisted intersphincteric resection in lower rectal cancer, particularly the extent of sphincter resection and sphincter saving.

Surgical endoscopy
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...
