Abstract:PurposeRadiation damage on neurovascular bundles (NVBs) may be the cause of sexual dysfunction after radiotherapy for prostate cancer. However, it is challenging to delineate NVBs as organ‐at‐risks from planning CTs during radiotherapy. Recently, the integration of MR into radiotherapy made NVBs contour delineating possible. In this study, we aim to develop an MRI‐based deep learning method for automatic NVB segmentation.MethodsThe proposed method, named topological modulated network, consists of three subnetw… Show more
