Deep Learning-Based Registration of MR and Treatment Planning Ultrasound Images for HDR Prostate Brachytherapy

Purpose/Objective(s)Propagation of contours from high-quality magnetic resonance (MR) images to treatment planning ultrasound (US) images with severe needle artifacts is a challenging task, which can greatly aid the organ or intraprostatic lesion contouring in high dose rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy. In this study, a deep learning approach was developed to automatize this registration procedure for HDR brachytherapy...
