Auto-Delineation of Oropharyngeal Clinical Target Volumes Using Deep Learning Techniques
… radiation dose to the defined treatment targets achieving more accurate target dose distribution and better sparing of normal tissues. However, producing very precise treatment plans may be ineffective if the target volumes are not defined accurately. Furthermore, there are several …

A Systems Approach to Modelling Tumour and Tissue Response in Radiotherapy for Head-and-Neck Cancer
… radioresistance and the potential need for targeted therapies. This methodology proved both reproducible and generalisable, with successful application to both HNC and breast cancer datasets. Tumour-level analyses applied a radiomic pipeline to clinical target volumes (CTVs) extracted from …

Automation of Radiation Treatment Planning For Cervical Cancer
… to create an auto-contouring model for 3 clinical target volumes (CTVs) and 12 normal structures for cervical cancer radiation treatment and showed that 93% of the automatically generated contours were clinically acceptable.</p> <p>For planning, we automated 3 treatment delivery techniques …

A phantom based evaluation on the effects of patient breathing motion on Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy treatment volumes
… Introduction: Expansion margins are added to clinical target volumes contoured by Oncologists in order to safeguard against under- or over-treatment of the target volume. They are designed to account for errors during setup, inaccuracies on the linear accelerator, and movement of targets …

Integration of Biomedical Imaging and Translational Approaches For Management of Head and Neck Cancer
<p>The aim of the clinical component of this work was to determine whether the currently available clinical imaging tools can be integrated with radiotherapy (RT) platforms for monitoring and adaptation of radiation dose, prediction of tumor response and disease outcomes, and characterization of …
