Abstract:We investigated an approach for predicting recurrence after radiation therapy using local binary pattern (LBP)-based dosiomics in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). LBP-based dosiomics models may be more accurate in predicting recurrence after radiation therapy in patients with HNSCC.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to develop dual segmentation models for poorly and well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), using two-step transfer learning (TSTL) based on dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) computed tomography (CT) images. The proposed model using TSTL from the lung cancer dataset showed the potential to segment poorly and well-differentiated HCC regions on DCE-CT images.

This study This is the first preliminary study to develop prediction models
for aneurysm rupture risk using radiomics analysis based on follow-up magnetic
resonance angiography (MRA) images. We selected 103 follow-up images from
18 unruptured aneurysm (UA) cases and 10 follow-up images from 10 ruptured
aneurysm (RA) cases to build the prediction models. This prediction model
with non-invasive MRA images could predict aneurysm rupture risk for SAH

Purpose:This study proposed novel radiomic features based on the Hessian
index
of differential topology for the prediction of prognosis prior to treatment in head-and-neck (HN) cancer patients. The Hessian index, which can indicate tumor heterogeneity with convex, concave, and other points (saddle points), was calculated as the number of negative eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix at each voxel on computed tomography(CT)images.
Result:This result indicates that index features could provide more prognostic information than conventional features and further increase the prognostic value of clinical variables in HN cancer patients

Background: There is a low reproducibility of the Gleason scores that determine
the grade group of prostate cancer given the intra‐ and interobserver variability
among pathologists.
This study aimed to develop an automated approach for estimating prostate cancer grade groups based on features obtained from histological image analysis.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that the proposed approach may support pathologists during the evaluation of grade groups for prostate cancer, thus mitigating intra‐ and interobserver variability.

Purpose: There remain uncertainties due to inter‐ and intraobserver variability in soft‐tissue‐based patient positioning even with the use of image‐guided radiation therapy (IGRT). This study aimed to reveal observer uncertainties of soft‐tissuebased patient positioning on cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) images for prostate cancer IGRT.
Conclusion: Intraobserver variability was sufficiently small and would be negligible. However, uncertainties due to interobserver variability for soft‐tissue‐based patient positioning using CBCT images should be considered in CTV‐to‐PTV margins.

Recently, the concept of radiomics has emerged from radiation oncology. It is a novel approach for solving the issues of precision medicine and how it can be performed, based on multimodality medical images that are noninvasive, fast and low in cost.
Radiomics is the comprehensive analysis of massive numbers of medical images in order to extract a large number of phenotypic features (radiomic biomarkers) reflecting cancer traits, and it explores the associations between the features and patients’ prognoses in order to improve decision-making in precision medicine.
Therefore, radiomic approaches, in combination with AI, may potentially enable practical use of precision medicine in radiation therapy by predicting outcomes and toxicity for individual patients.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art computational intelligence research and technologies in computer-assisted radiation therapy based on image engineering. It also traces major technical advancements and research findings in the field of image-based computer-assisted radiation therapy.
In high-precision radiation therapies, novel approaches in image engineering including computer graphics, image processing, pattern recognition, and computational anatomy play important roles in improving the accuracy of radiation therapy and assisting decision making by radiation oncology professionals, such as radiation oncologists, radiation technologists, and medical physicists, in each phase of radiation therapy.
All the topics presented in this book broaden understanding of the modern
medical technologies and systems for image-based computer-assisted radiation
therapy. Therefore this volume will greatly benefit not only radiation
oncologists and radiologists but also radiation technologists, professors
in medical physics or engineering, and engineers involved in the development
