Abstract
BACKGROUND PURPOSE: This study focused on developing a fast Monte Carlo (MC) plan verification platform via a deep learning (DL)-based denoising approach. It can maintain the MC dose calculation accuracy while significantly reducing the computation time. We also investigated its potential applications for online adaptive proton therapy (APT).
