(radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc.) of cancer patients as well as on general
application of ML in radiotherapy, including but not limited to the following
topics:
Treatment outcomes modeling using
linear and nonlinear kernel-based models
Extraction of cancer prognostic
factors from clinically and biologically relevant data
Analysis of high through-put
biotechnology data (genomics and proteomics) related to treatment response
Treatment metrics and biomarkers
methods for predicting outcomes
Imaging patterns as predictor of
response
Image guided radiotherapy
Medical image segmentation and
analysis
Machine learning to support diagnosis
Analysis and prediction of anatomical
motion
Gating of respiratory motion
Treatment outcome analysis
