Machine Learning-based Analysis of Rectal Cancer MRI Radiomics for Prediction of Metachronous Liver Metastasis.

Academic radiology
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To use machine learning-based magnetic resonance imaging radiomics to predict metachronous liver metastases (MLM) in patients with rectal cancer.

A study of positioning orientation effect on segmentation accuracy using convolutional neural networks for rectal cancer.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have greatly improved medical image segmentation. A robust model requires training data can represent the entire dataset. One of the differing characteristics comes from variability in patient positioning ...

Towards a modular decision support system for radiomics: A case study on rectal cancer.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Following the personalized medicine paradigm, there is a growing interest in medical agents capable of predicting the effect of therapies on patients, by exploiting the amount of data that is now available for each patient. In disciplines like oncolo...

Cascaded atrous convolution and spatial pyramid pooling for more accurate tumor target segmentation for rectal cancer radiotherapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have become the state-of-the-art method for medical segmentation. However, repeated pooling and striding operations reduce the feature resolution, causing loss of detailed information. Additionally, tumors of diff...

The radiation oncology ontology (ROO): Publishing linked data in radiation oncology using semantic web and ontology techniques.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Personalized medicine is expected to yield improved health outcomes. Data mining over massive volumes of patients' clinical data is an appealing, low-cost and noninvasive approach toward personalization. Machine learning algorithms could be ...

Technical Note: A deep learning-based autosegmentation of rectal tumors in MR images.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Manual contouring of gross tumor volumes (GTV) is a crucial and time-consuming process in rectum cancer radiotherapy. This study aims to develop a simple deep learning-based autosegmentation algorithm to segment rectal tumors on T2-weighted ...

Fully automated searching for the optimal VMAT jaw settings based on Eclipse Scripting Application Programming Interface (ESAPI) and RapidPlan knowledge-based planning.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Eclipse treatment planning system has not been able to optimize the jaw positions for Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT). The arbitrary and planner-dependent jaw placements define the maximum field size within which multi-leaf-collimato...

Automatic segmentation of the clinical target volume and organs at risk in the planning CT for rectal cancer using deep dilated convolutional neural networks.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Delineation of the clinical target volume (CTV) and organs at risk (OARs) is very important for radiotherapy but is time-consuming and prone to inter-observer variation. Here, we proposed a novel deep dilated convolutional neural network (DD...

Deep Learning for Fully-Automated Localization and Segmentation of Rectal Cancer on Multiparametric MR.

Scientific reports
Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can provide detailed information of the physical characteristics of rectum tumours. Several investigations suggest that volumetric analyses on anatomical and functional MRI contain clinically valuable ...
