Abstract

BACKGROUND: In external beam radiotherapy, a prediction model is required to compensate for the temporal system latency that affects the accuracy of radiation dose delivery. This study focused on a thorough comparison of seven deep artificial neural networks to propose an accurate and reliable prediction model.
