Deep Learning for Real-time, Automatic, and Scanner-adapted Prostate (Zone) Segmentation of Transrectal Ultrasound, for Example, Magnetic Resonance Imaging-transrectal Ultrasound Fusion Prostate Biopsy.

European urology focus
BACKGROUND: Although recent advances in multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) led to an increase in MRI-transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) fusion prostate biopsies, these are time consuming, laborious, and costly. Introduction of deep-learning ...

CT male pelvic organ segmentation using fully convolutional networks with boundary sensitive representation.

Medical image analysis
Accurate segmentation of the prostate and organs at risk (e.g., bladder and rectum) in CT images is a crucial step for radiation therapy in the treatment of prostate cancer. However, it is a very challenging task due to unclear boundaries, large intr...

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.

Predicting survival from colorectal cancer histology slides using deep learning: A retrospective multicenter study.

PLoS medicine
BACKGROUND: For virtually every patient with colorectal cancer (CRC), hematoxylin-eosin (HE)-stained tissue slides are available. These images contain quantitative information, which is not routinely used to objectively extract prognostic biomarkers....

Fully automated diagnostic system with artificial intelligence using endocytoscopy to identify the presence of histologic inflammation associated with ulcerative colitis (with video).

Gastrointestinal endoscopy
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC), an incremental benefit of achieving histologic healing beyond that of endoscopic mucosal healing has been suggested; persistent histologic inflammation increases the risk of exacerbati...

Experimental infection of Friesian bulls with Theileria orientalis (Ikeda) and effects on the haematocrit, live weight, rectal temperature and activity.

Veterinary parasitology, regional studies and reports
Since 2012, New Zealand has suffered from an epidemic of infectious bovine anaemia associated with T. orientalis (Ikeda), an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite of cattle. Despite widespread agreement that T. orientalis (Ikeda) infection has im...

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 ...

Deep convolutional neural network with transfer learning for rectum toxicity prediction in cervical cancer radiotherapy: a feasibility study.

Physics in medicine and biology
Better understanding of the dose-toxicity relationship is critical for safe dose escalation to improve local control in late-stage cervical cancer radiotherapy. In this study, we introduced a convolutional neural network (CNN) model to analyze rectum...

Clinical implementation of a knowledge based planning tool for prostate VMAT.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: A knowledge based planning tool has been developed and implemented for prostate VMAT radiotherapy plans providing a target average rectum dose value based on previously achievable values for similar rectum/PTV overlap. The purpose of this...
