Interstitial-guided automatic clinical tumor volume segmentation network for cervical cancer brachytherapy
Journal Article Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics · July 1, 2025 Automatic clinical tumor volume (CTV) delineation is pivotal to improving outcomes for interstitial brachytherapy cervical cancer. However, the prominent differences in gray values due to the interstitial needles bring great challenges on deep learning-bas ...

Journal Article Comput Med Imaging Graph · April 2025 Thoracic Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is routinely collected during image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) to provide updated patient anatomy information for lung cancer treatments. However, CBCT images often suffer from streaking artifacts and nois ... Full text Link to item CiteRecent Grants
