BACKGROUND: Specific pelvic bone dimensions have been identified as predictors of total mesorectal excision (TME) difficulty and outcomes. However, manual measurement of these dimensions (pelvimetry) is labor intensive and thus, anatomic criteria are...
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of pathological complete response (pCR) and disease-free survival (DFS) in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) is essential for formulating effective treatment...
BACKGROUND: The preservation of the pelvic autonomic nervous system in total mesorectal excision remains challenging to date. The application of laparoscopy has enabled visualization of fine anatomical structures; however, the rate of urogenital dysf...
MAIN OBJECTIVES: We aimed at comparing intratumoral and peritumoral deep learning, radiomics, and fusion models in predicting KRAS mutations in rectal cancer using endorectal ultrasound imaging.

BACKGROUND & PURPOSE: Deep learning (DL) based auto-segmentation has shown to be beneficial for online adaptive radiotherapy (OART). However, auto-segmentation of clinical target volumes (CTV) is complex, as clinical interpretations are crucial in th...
BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by radical surgery has been a common practice for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer, but the response rate varies among patients. This study aimed to develop a ResNet-Vision Transformer ba...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To develop interpretable machine learning models that utilize deep learning (DL) and radiomics based on multiparametric Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to predict preoperative lymph node (LN) metastasis in rectal cancer.
INTRODUCTION: Patient body composition (BC) has been shown to help predict clinical outcomes in rectal cancer patients. Artificial intelligence algorithms have allowed for easier acquisition of BC measurements, creating a comprehensive BC profile in ...

BACKGROUND: Predicting pathological complete response (pCR) from pre or post-treatment features could be significant in improving the process of making clinical decisions and providing a more personalized treatment approach for better treatment outco...
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the effectiveness of a deep learning denoising approach to accelerate diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and thus improve diagnostic accuracy and image quality in restaging rectal MRI following total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT).
