In recent years, deep learning has been widely used in diverse fields of research, such as speech recognition, image classification, autonomous driving and natural language processing. Deep learning has showcased dramatically improved performance in complex classification and regression problems, where the intricate structure in the high-dimensional data is difficult to discover using conventional machine learning algorithms. In biology, applications of deep learning are gaining increasing popularity in predicting the structure and function of genomic elements, such as promoters, enhancers, or gene expression levels. In this review paper, we described the basic concepts in machine learning and artificial neural network, followed by elaboration on the workflow of using convolutional neural network in genomics. Then we provided a concise introduction of deep learning applications in genomics and synthetic biology at the levels of DNA, RNA and protein. Finally, we discussed the current challenges and future perspectives of deep learning in genomics.

An MR-only deep learning inference model-based dose estimation algorithm for MR-guided adaptive radiation therapy.
Med Phys
March 2025
Department of Radiation Oncology, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, Shanghai, China.
Background: Magnetic resonance-guided adaptive radiation therapy (MRgART) systems combine Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology with linear accelerators (LINAC) to enhance the precision and efficacy of cancer treatment. These systems enable real-time adjustments of treatment plans based on the latest patient anatomy, creating an urgent need for accurate and rapid dose calculation algorithms. Traditional CT-based dose calculations and ray-tracing (RT) processes are time-consuming and may not be feasible for the online adaptive workflow required in MRgART.

School of Computer Science and Engineering, Central South University, Changsha, China.
Background: Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a post-processing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that extracts the distribution of tissue susceptibilities and holds significant promise in the study of neurological diseases. However, the ill-conditioned nature of dipole inversion often results in noise and artifacts during QSM reconstruction from the tissue field. Deep learning methods have shown great potential in addressing these issues; however, most existing approaches rely on basic U-net structures, leading to limited performances and reconstruction artifacts sometimes.

Med Phys
March 2025
Center of Statistical Research and School of Statistics, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, Chengdu, China.
Background: Recently, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown great potential in medical image classification tasks. However, the practical usage of the methods is constrained by two challenges: 1) the challenge of using nonindependent and identically distributed (non-IID) datasets from various medical institutions while ensuring privacy, and 2) the data imbalance problem due to the frequency of different diseases.
Purpose: The objective of this paper is to present a novel approach for addressing these challenges through a decentralized learning method using a prototypical contrastive network to achieve precise medical image classification while mitigating the non-IID problem across different clients.
Explainable attention-enhanced heuristic paradigm for multi-view prognostic risk score development in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Hepatol Int
March 2025
Department of Health Technology and Informatics, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, 11 Yuk Choi Road, Hong Kong SAR, China.
Purpose: Existing prognostic staging systems depend on expensive manual extraction by pathologists, potentially overlooking latent patterns critical for prognosis, or use black-box deep learning models, limiting clinical acceptance. This study introduces a novel deep learning-assisted paradigm that complements existing approaches by generating interpretable, multi-view risk scores to stratify prognostic risk in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.
Methods: 510 HCC patients were enrolled in an internal dataset (SYSUCC) as training and validation cohorts to develop the Hybrid Deep Score (HDS).
Fully automatic categorical analysis of striatal subregions in dopamine transporter SPECT using a convolutional neural network.

Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany.
Objective: To provide fully automatic scanner-independent 5-level categorization of the [I]FP-CIT uptake in striatal subregions in dopamine transporter SPECT.
Methods: A total of 3500 [I]FP-CIT SPECT scans from two in house (n = 1740, n = 640) and two external (n = 645, n = 475) datasets were used for this study. A convolutional neural network (CNN) was trained for the categorization of the [I]FP-CIT uptake in unilateral caudate and putamen in both hemispheres according to 5 levels: normal, borderline, moderate reduction, strong reduction, almost missing.
