PURPOSE: To investigate the adequacy of three-dimensional (3D) Monte Carlo (MC) optimization (3DMCO) and the potential of four-dimensional (4D) dose renormalization (4DMCrenorm) and optimization (4DMCO) for CyberKnife (Accuray Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) ra...
METHODS: In this review, the historical development of tumor response criteria is examined and an interview was conducted with one of the original researchers behind the original study. This study, published nearly five decades ago, assessed tumor si...
BACKGROUND: Longitudinal measurement of tumor burden with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential component of response assessment in pediatric brain tumors. We developed a fully automated pipeline for the segmentation of tumors in pediatric...
PURPOSE: The availability of automated, accurate, and robust gross tumor volume (GTV) segmentation algorithms is critical for the management of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. In this work, we evaluated 3 state-of-the-art deep learning algorithm...
Although papillary thyroid cancers are known to have a relatively low risk of recurrence, several factors are associated with a higher risk of recurrence, such as extrathyroidal extension, nodal metastasis, and BRAF gene mutation. However, predicting...
The aim of this study was to develop an automated segmentation approach for small gross tumor volumes (GTVs) in 3D planning computed tomography (CT) images using dense V-networks (DVNs) that offer more advantages in segmenting smaller structures than...
