Purpose In search of reliable biologic markers to predict the risk normal tissue damage by radio(chemo)therapy before treatment, we investigated association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in transforming growth factor 1 (TGFβ1) gene and radiation pneumonitis (RP) patients with non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients Methods Using 164 available genomic DNA samples from NSCLC treated definitive radio(chemo)therapy, genotyped three SNPs TGFβ1 (rs1800469:C-509T,...

Changes nocturnal activity (NA) and early sleep (ESA) between week 0 (baseline), 2, 4, assessed using leg recordings, International Restless Legs Syndrome Rating Scale (IRLSRS), Epworth Sleepiness...
Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is becoming increasingly important in precision radiotherapy owing to its excellent soft‐tissue contrast and versatile scan options. Many recent advances MRI have been shown be promising for MRI‐guided improved treatment outcomes. This paper summarizes these into six sections: simulators, MRI‐linear accelerator hybrid machines, MRI‐only workflow, four‐dimensional MRI, MRI‐based radiomics, magnetic fingerprinting. These techniques can implemented...

Biomechanical modeling methods can be used to predict deformations for medical image registration and particularly, they are very effective whole-body computed tomography (CT) because differences between the source target images caused by complex articulated motions soft tissues large. The biomechanics-based method needs deform using deformation field predicted finite element models (FEMs). In practice, global local coordinate systems in analysis. This involves transformation of coordinates...

Fiber orientation distribution (FOD) estimation with diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is critical in white matter fiber tractography which most commonly implemented by tracking the principal direction of FOD step step. Ambiguous spatial correspondences between estimated directions and geometry, such as crossing, fanning or bending, makes challenging. As a consequence, lot tracts suggest intertangled connections unexpected regions actually stop prematurely matter. In this work, we...
