Network-based machine learning in colorectal and bladder organoid models predicts anti-cancer drug efficacy in patients.

Nature communications
Cancer patient classification using predictive biomarkers for anti-cancer drug responses is essential for improving therapeutic outcomes. However, current machine-learning-based predictions of drug response often fail to identify robust translational...

Machine Segmentation of Pelvic Anatomy in MRI-Assisted Radiosurgery (MARS) for Prostate Cancer Brachytherapy.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: To investigate machine segmentation of pelvic anatomy in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-assisted radiosurgery (MARS) for prostate cancer using prostate brachytherapy MRIs acquired with different pulse sequences and image contrasts.

Clinical Evaluation of Deep Learning and Atlas-Based Auto-Contouring of Bladder and Rectum for Prostate Radiation Therapy.

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: Auto-contouring may reduce workload, interobserver variation, and time associated with manual contouring of organs at risk. Manual contouring remains the standard due in part to uncertainty around the time and workload savings after accounti...

Automatic segmentation of pelvic organs-at-risk using a fusion network model based on limited training samples.

Acta oncologica (Stockholm, Sweden)
Efficient and accurate methods are needed to automatically segmenting organs-at-risk (OAR) to accelerate the radiotherapy workflow and decrease the treatment wait time. We developed and evaluated the use of a fused model Dense V-Network for its abil...

Machine learning paradigm for dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI evaluation of expanding bladder.

Frontiers in bioscience (Landmark edition)
Delineation of the bladder under a dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE)-MRI protocol requires robust segmentation. However, this method is subject to errors due to variations in the content of fluid within the bladder, as well as presence of air and simil...

RapidBrachyDL: Rapid Radiation Dose Calculations in Brachytherapy Via Deep Learning.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Detailed and accurate absorbed dose calculations from radiation interactions with the human body can be obtained with the Monte Carlo (MC) method. However, the MC method can be slow for use in the time-sensitive clinical workflow. The aim of...

Stepwise Description and Outcomes of Bladder Neck Sparing Robot-Assisted Simple Prostatectomy.

Journal of endourology
To present a stepwise description and outcomes of bladder neck sparing (BNS) robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP). Between March 2015 and December 2018, 30 consecutive patients with benign prostate hyperplasia underwent BNS RASP. Baseline cha...

An Underwater Robotic Manipulator with Soft Bladders and Compact Depth-Independent Actuation.

Soft robotics
An underwater manipulator is essential for underwater robotic sampling and other service operations. Conventional rigid body underwater manipulators generally required substantial size and weight, leading to hindered general applications. Pioneering ...

An objective comparison of detection and segmentation algorithms for artefacts in clinical endoscopy.

Scientific reports
We present a comprehensive analysis of the submissions to the first edition of the Endoscopy Artefact Detection challenge (EAD). Using crowd-sourcing, this initiative is a step towards understanding the limitations of existing state-of-the-art comput...
