Abstract

PURPOSE: This work aims to study the generalizability of a pre-developed deep learning (DL) dose prediction model for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for prostate cancer and to adapt the model, via transfer learning with minimal input data, to three different internal treatment planning styles and one external institution planning style.
