Abstract
Real‐time multi‐class motion tracking on cine images during magnetic resonance‐guided radiation therapy (MRgRT) would enable instant monitoring of anatomical structures, facilitating dynamic beam control to minimize overdose to normal tissues and maximize tumor dose. However, conventional segmentation strategies incur significant time delays, making their clinical application impractical. Emerging deep learning (DL) technologies can provide a path to address this clinical challenge.
Background and Purpose: Real-time tumor tracking on cine magnetic resonance imaging (cine-MRI) enables intra-fraction motion management in magnetic resonance-guided radiotherapy. Pipelines often rely on deformable registration or template matching to propagate contours, which can degrade under non-rigid motion and cine...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a key modality in cancer treatment, providing high soft tissue contrast for the visualization of tumors and internal anatomy. Radiotherapy, which is widely used in treatments, requires precise tumor segmentation to ensure targeting the true tumor and minimizing radiation exposure to...

Liver computed tomography perfusion (CTp) imaging enables quantitative assessment of vascular dynamics but is highly susceptible to motion‐induced artifacts arising from breath‐hold variability and involuntary patient motion. These effects cause different portions of the liver to fall within the imaging field of view a...

A deformable image registration (DIR) framework is developed that integrates inverse consistency with local biomechanical constraints, enabling tissue‐specific motion modeling using contours from only a single image volume, yielding anatomically plausible motion estimates for ART workflows.

INTRODUCTION
Non-perfused volume (NPV) is a key imaging biomarker for treatment efficacy in MR -guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MR-HIFU). In uterine fibroids therapies, the NPV ratio is strongly associated with clinical outcomes and long-term efficacy. We developed and clinically evaluated a deep learning-bas...
