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 ...
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...
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...
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 ...
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 ...

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...
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...
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 ...
