Learning image representations for content-based image retrieval of radiotherapy treatment plans

Objective. In this work, we propose a content-based image retrieval (CBIR) method for retrieving dose distributions of previously planned patients based on anatomical similarity. Retrieved dose distributions from this method can be incorporated into automated treatment planning workflows in order to streamline the iterative planning process....

Design knowledge graph-aided conceptual product design approach based on joint entity and relation extraction

Design knowledge is critical to creating ideas in the conceptual design stage of product development for innovation. Fragmentary design data, massive multidisciplinary knowledge call for the development of a novel knowledge acquisition approach for conceptual product design. This study proposes a Design Knowledge Graph-aided (DKG-aided)...

Sub-second photon dose prediction via transformer neural networks

Background: Fast dose calculation is critical for online and real-time adaptive therapy workflows. While modern physics-based dose algorithms must compromise accuracy to achieve low computation times, deep learning models can potentially perform dose prediction tasks with both high fidelity and speed. Purpose: We present a deep learning...
