PURPOSE: Positional errors resulting from motion are a principal challenge across all disease sites in radiation therapy. This is particularly pertinent when treating lesions in the liver with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). To achieve do...
PURPOSE: Technological progress of machine learning and natural language processing has led to the development of large language models (LLMs), capable of producing well-formed text responses and providing natural language access to knowledge. Modern...
PURPOSE: The emerging online adaptive radiation therapy (OART) treatment strategy based on cone beam computed tomography allows for real-time replanning according to a patient's current anatomy. However, implementing this procedure requires a new app...
PURPOSE: The study's purpose was to compare the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) in auto-contouring compared with a human practitioner in terms of precision, differences in dose distribution, and time consumption.
PURPOSE: Meticulous manual delineations of the prostate and the surrounding organs at risk are necessary for prostate cancer radiation therapy to avoid side effects to the latter. This process is time consuming and hampered by inter- and intraobserve...
PURPOSE: Radiation therapy is widely used to treat head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). This study evaluated the association between circulating plasma programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and the outcomes of patients with HNSCC after radiatio...
PURPOSE: The autosegmentation algorithm of Siemens Healthineers version VA 30 (AASH) (Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany) was trained and developed in the male pelvis, with no published data on its usability in the female pelvis. This is the fir...
PURPOSE: The aim was to develop a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-guided clinical decision support system, to predict radiation doses to subsites of the mandible using diagnostic computed tomography scans acquired before any planning of head and n...
PURPOSE: Concern about a long-term effect of the delivery of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for prostate cancer on serum testosterone levels remains unelucidated. We evaluated how IMRT for localized prostate cancer affects serum testost...
PURPOSE: To report on the use of outpatient anesthesia (OPA) facilitating delivery of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in patients with severe cognitive impairments (CI) diagnosed with inoperable early stage lung cancer.
