Purpose Radiomics is a growing field of image quantitation, but it lacks stable and high‐quality software systems. We extended the capabilities Computational Environment for Radiological Research (CERR) to create comprehensive, open‐source, MATLAB‐based platform with an emphasis on reproducibility, speed, clinical integration radiomics research. Method The tools in CERR were designed specifically quantitate medical images combination CERR's core functionalities radiological data import,...
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant central nervous system tumor, and MGMT promoter hypermethylation in this tumor has been shown to be associated with better prognosis. We evaluated capacity of radiomics features add complementary information status, improve ability predict prognosis.159 patients untreated GBM were included study divided into training independent test sets. 286 extracted from magnetic resonance images acquired prior any treatments. A least absolute shrinkage...

Delineating swallowing and chewing structures aids in radiotherapy (RT) treatment planning to limit dysphagia, trismus, speech dysfunction. We aim develop an accurate efficient method automate this process.
Reducing trismus in radiotherapy for head and neck cancer (HNC) is important. Automated deep learning (DL) segmentation automated planning was used to introduce new rarely segmented masticatory structures study if risk could be decreased.Auto-segmentation based on purpose-built DL, our in-house system, ECHO. Treatment plans ten HNC patients, treated with 2 Gy × 35 fractions, were optimized (ECHO0). Six manually OARs replaced DL auto-segmentations the re-optimized (ECHO1). In a third set of...
Objective . To investigate if histogram analysis and visually assessed heterogeneity of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) mapping can predict molecular subtypes invasive breast cancers. Materials Methods In this retrospective study, 91 patients carcinoma who underwent preoperative magnetic resonance (MRI) DWI at our institution were included. Two radiologists delineated a 2-D region interest (ROI) on ADC maps in consensus. Tumors also independently...
The use of stereotactic body radiation therapy for ultracentral lung tumors is limited by increased toxicity. We hypothesized that using published normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) and tumor control (TCP) models could improve the therapeutic ratio between A proposed model-based approach was applied to virtually replan early-stage non-small cell cancer (NSCLC) tumors.
Abstract Purpose Delineating the swallowing and chewing structures in Head Neck (H&N) CT scans is necessary for radiotherapy treatment (RT) planning to reduce incidence of radiation-induced dysphagia, trismus, speech dysfunction. Automating this process would decrease manual input required yield reproducible segmentations, but generating accurate segmentations challenging due complex morphology limited soft tissue contrast images. Methods We trained deep learning models using 194 H&N...
Abstract The emerging field of radiomics, which consists transforming standard-of-care images to quantifiable scalar statistics, endeavors reveal the information hidden in these macroscopic images. This research has found different applications ranging from phenotyping and tumor classification outcome prediction treatment planning. Texture analysis, often reducing spatial texture matrices summary features, been shown be important many latter applications. However, as pointed out studies,...
