Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of Registration Methods on Thoracic CT: The EMPIRE10 Challenge

TL;DR: The organization of the challenge, the data and evaluation methods and the outcome of the initial launch with 20 algorithms, which comprised the comprehensive evaluation and comparison of 20 individual algorithms from leading academic and industrial research groups are detailed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Registration-based estimates of local lung tissue expansion compared to xenon CT measures of specific ventilation.

TL;DR: A registration-based technique for estimating local lung expansion from multiple respiratory-gated CT images of the thorax using the Jacobian of the registration displacement field is described, which it is shown is directly related to specific volume change.
Journal ArticleDOI

4DCT-based measurement of changes in pulmonary function following a course of radiation therapy

TL;DR: The pulmonary function prior to and following a course of radiation therapy can be measured by using 4DCT and image registration techniques with a weak correlation between the dose and pulmonary function change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three dimensional characterization of regional lung deformation

TL;DR: Three indices of lung deformation that are determinable from the displacement field are proposed: the Jacobian, the anisotropic deformation index and a slab-rod index--a measure of the nature of directional preference in volume change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship Between Prior Radiotherapy and Checkpoint-Inhibitor Pneumonitis in Patients With Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer.

TL;DR: No RT parameter was significantly associated with IR pneumonitis in non-small-cell lung cancer patients treated with anti-programmed cell death 1/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), and attention should be paid to NSCLC patients receiving curative-intent RT followed by anti-PD-1/PD- L1 agents.
