At present, most of the processing performed on the CT modality is carried out by ad-hoc methods. Recently, DNN, especially Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), which are particularly adapted to images, are beginning to be used in this field. Nevertheless, the classification of 3D sequences, such as CT sequences, and the prediction of their short-term sequels with deep models remains to our knowledge an open scientific challenge, with important prospects in the medical field.
We propose to facilitate replanning by predicting the GTV evolution using CT images acquired during the treatment. To do so, we use Deep Neural Networks (DNN) adapted to sequence processing (able to deal with variable dimension signals) such as Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM), producing itself an image or a sequence of images in a generative mode, or combined with generative models such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN).
