(author), Hoekstra, Nienke (author), Astreinidou, Eleftheria (author), Staring, M. (author)Background and purpose: Retrospective dose evaluation for organ-at-risk auto-contours has previously used small cohorts due to additional manual effort required for treatment planning on auto-contours. We aimed to do this at large scale, by a) proposing and assessing an automated plan optimization workflow that used existing clinical plan...journal article 2024

Chen, Yunjie (author), Staring, M. (author), Wolterink, Jelmer M. (author), Tao, Q. (author)In radiological practice, multi-sequence MRI is routinely acquired to characterize anatomy and tissue. However, due to the heterogeneity of imaging protocols and contraindications to contrast agents, some MRI sequences, e.g. contrast-enhanced T1-weighted image (T1ce), may not be acquired. This creates difficulties for large-scale clinical...conference paper 2023

Tan, Yicong (author), Mody, P. (author), van der Valk, Viktor (author), Staring, M. (author), van Gemert, J.C. (author)Literature on medical imaging segmentation claims that hybrid UNet models containing both Transformer and convolutional blocks perform better than purely convolutional UNet models. This recently touted success of hybrid Transformers warrants an investigation into which of its components contribute to its performance. Also, previous work has a...conference paper 2023

(author), van Egmond, R. (author)Delineation of tumours and organs-at-risk permits detecting and correcting changes in the patients' anatomy throughout the treatment, making it a core step of adaptive external beam radiotherapy. Although auto-contouring technologies have sped up this process, the time needed to perform the quality assessment of the generated contours remains a...book chapter 2022

Malimban, Justin (author), Lathouwers, D. (author), Qian, Haibin (author), Verhaegen, Frank (author), Wiedemann, Julia (author), Brandenburg, Sytze (author), Staring, M. (author)For image-guided small animal irradiations, the whole workflow of imaging, organ contouring, irradiation planning, and delivery is typically performed in a single session requiring continuous administration of anaesthetic agents. Automating contouring leads to a faster workflow, which limits exposure to anaesthesia and thereby, reducing its...journal article 2022

Brink, Wyger M. (author), Yousefi, Sahar (author), Bhatnagar, Prernna (author), Remis, R.F. (author), Staring, M. (author), Webb, A. (author)Purpose: Parallel RF transmission (PTx) is one of the key technologies enabling high quality imaging at ultra-high fields (≥7T). Compliance with regulatory limits on the local specific absorption rate (SAR) typically involves over-conservative safety margins to account for intersubject variability, which negatively affect the utilization of...journal article 2022

Mody, Prerak (author), Chaves-de-Plaza, Nicolas F. (author), Hildebrandt, K.A. (author), van Egmond, R. (author), de Ridder, H. (author), Staring, Marius (author)Deep learning models for organ contouring in radiotherapy are poised for clinical usage, but currently, there exist few tools for automated quality assessment (QA) of the predicted contours. Bayesian models and their associated uncertainty, can potentially automate the process of detecting inaccurate predictions. We investigate two Bayesian...journal article 2022

Mody, Prerak (author), Chaves-de-Plaza, Nicolas F. (author), Hildebrandt, K.A. (author), Staring, M. (author)Bayesian Neural Nets (BNN) are increasingly used for robust organ auto-contouring. Uncertainty heatmaps extracted from BNNs have been shown to correspond to inaccurate regions. To help speed up the mandatory quality assessment (QA) of contours in radiotherapy, these heatmaps could be used as stimuli to direct visual attention of clinicians to...conference paper 2022

(author)Suppression of surface-related and internal multiples is an outstanding challenge in seismic data processing. The former is particularly difficult in shallow water, whereas the latter is problematic for targets buried under complex, highly scattering overburdens. We have developed a two-step, amplitude- and phase-preserving, inversion-based...journal article 2021

(author), Staring, M. (author)Manual or automatic delineation of the esophageal tumor in CT images is known to be very challenging. This is due to the low contrast between the tumor and adjacent tissues, the anatomical variation of the esophagus, as well as the occasional presence of foreign bodies (e.g. feeding tubes). Physicians therefore usually exploit additional...journal article 2021

Sokooti, Hessam (author), Yousefi, Sahar (author), Elmahdy, Mohamed S. (author), Lelieveldt, B.P.F. (author), Staring, M. (author)In this paper we propose a supervised method to predict registration misalignment using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). This task is casted to a classification problem with multiple classes of misalignment: 'correct' 0-3 mm, 'poor' 3-6 mm and 'wrong' over 6 mm. Rather than a direct prediction, we propose a hierarchical approach, where...journal article 2021

(author), Zhang, L. (author), Reinicke Urruticoechea, C. (author)With the Marchenko method it is possible to retrieve Green's functions between virtual sources in the subsurface and receivers at the surface from reflection data at the surface and focusing functions. A macro model of the subsurface is needed to estimate the first arrival; the internal multiples are retrieved entirely from the reflection data....journal article 2021
