Automated multimodal volume registration based on supervised 3D anatomical landmark detection [PDF]
, 2017 We propose a new method for automatic 3D multimodal registration based on anatomical landmark detection. Landmark detectors are learned independantly in the two imaging modalities using Extremely Randomized Trees and multi-resolution voxel windows.

Whole brain irradiation with simultaneous integrated boost in treatment of oligometastatic brain disease [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2019 Background/Aim. Brain metastases occur in 20%–30% of all patients with systemic cancer. We aimed at investigating whether patients with oligometastatic brain disease treated with whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and simultaneous integrated boost of brain ...

External radiotherapy of thyroid cancer [PDF]
, 2001 Differentiated thyroid cancer comprises papillary, mixed papillary-follicular and follicular adenocarcinomas. They are mostly hormone-sensitive and respond to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) suppression. The standard treatment is total thyroidectomy. I-

Comparison of Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy and Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiotherapy in Postoperative High-Grade Glioma: A Dosimetric Comparison [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Medical Physics, 2019 Introduction: We aimed to dosimetrically compare three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in terms of planning target volume (PTV) coverage, organ at risk (OAR) sparing, and conformity index (CI ...

Validating Dose Uncertainty Estimates Produced by AUTODIRECT: An Automated Program to Evaluate Deformable Image Registration Accuracy. [PDF]
, 2017 Deformable image registration is a powerful tool for mapping information, such as radiation therapy dose calculations, from one computed tomography image to another. However, deformable image registration is susceptible to mapping errors.
