OBJECTIVE: Accurate detection and segmentation of organs at risks (OARs) in CT image is the key step for efficient planning of radiation therapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treatment. We develop a fully automated deep-learning-based method (te...
BACKGROUND: To investigate the effect of machine learning methods on predicting the Overall Survival (OS) for non-small cell lung cancer based on radiomics features analysis.

PURPOSE: Tuberculosis is a major global health threat claiming millions of lives each year. While the total number of tuberculosis cases has been decreasing over the last years, the rise of drug-resistant tuberculosis has reduced the chance of contro...
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to identify optimal machine-learning methods for preoperative differentiation of sacral chordoma (SC) and sacral giant cell tumour (SGCT) based on 3D non-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and CT-enhanced (CTE) features.
: Identification of early-stage pulmonary adenocarcinomas before surgery, especially in cases of subcentimeter cancers, would be clinically important and could provide guidance to clinical decision making. In this study, we developed a deep learning ...
This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of anatomical feature points for the estimation of prostate locations in the Bayesian delineation frameworks for prostate cancer radiotherapy. The relationships between the reference centroids of prosta...
The automated segmentation of liver and tumor from CT images is of great importance in medical diagnoses and clinical treatment. However, accurate and automatic segmentation of liver and tumor is generally complicated due to the complex anatomical st...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Permanent seed brachytherapy is an established treatment option for localized prostate cancer. Currently, post-implant dosimetry is performed on CT images despite challenging target delineation due to limited soft tissue contr...
PURPOSE: Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is commonly employed for treating head and neck (H&N) cancer with uniform tumor dose and conformal critical organ sparing. Accurate delineation of organs-at-risk (OARs) on H&N CT images is thus es...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was the evaluation of anthropomorphic model observers trained with neural networks for the prediction of a human observer's performance.
