Abstract

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown deep learning techniques are able to predict three-dimensional (3D) dose distributions of radiotherapy treatment plans. However, their use in dose prediction for treatments with varied prescription doses including simultaneous integrated boost (SIB), that is, using multiple prescription doses within the same plan, and benefit in improving plan quality should be validated.
