Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Background This study aims to develop a novel predictive model for determining human papillomavirus (HPV) presence in oropharyngeal cancer using computed tomography (CT). Current image‐based HPV prediction methods are hindered by high computational demands or suboptimal performance.

Transient Forward Harmonic Adjoint Sensitivity Analysis [PDF]
arXivThis paper presents a transient forward harmonic adjoint sensitivity analysis (TFHA), which is a combination of a transient forward circuit analysis with a harmonic balance based adjoint sensitivity analysis. TFHA provides sensitivities of quantities of interest from time-periodic problems w.r.t. many design parameters, as used in the design process of

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis and Fairness
, 2020 This article considers some different views of fairness and whether they conflict with the use of a version of Cost Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) that calls for maximizing health benefits per dollar spent. Among the concerns addressed are whether this version of CEA ignores the concerns of the worst off and inappropriately aggregates small benefits to ...

In vivo transit dosimetry methodology for whole breast intensity modulated radiation therapy
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Background In vivo transit dosimetry using an electronic portal imaging device (EPID‐IVTD) is an important tool for verifying the accuracy of radiation therapy treatments. Despite its potential, the implementation of EPID‐IVTD in breast intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatments has not yet been standardized, limiting its clinical

Data‐driven performance metrics for neural network learning
International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView., 2023 Summary Effectiveness of data‐driven neural learning in terms of both local mimima trapping and convergence rate is addressed. Such issues are investigated in a case study involving the training of one‐hidden‐layer feedforward neural networks with the extended Kalman filter, which reduces the search for the optimal network parameters to a state ...

A unified framework of principal component analysis and factor analysis [PDF]
arXivPrincipal component analysis and factor analysis are fundamental multivariate analysis methods. In this paper a unified framework to connect them is introduced. Under a general latent variable model, we present matrix optimization problems from the viewpoint of loss function minimization, and show that the two methods can be viewed as solutions to the ...

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose This study quantitatively evaluates bladder changes and their dosimetric impact during the on‐couch adaptive process on a commercial CBCT‐based online adaptive radiotherapy (CT‐gART) platform. Methods Data from 183 fractions of ten patients receiving online ART for pelvic cancers were analyzed retrospectively.
