Integrating aperture shape controller and machine learning prediction to improve gamma passing rates in lattice radiotherapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
This study proposes a workflow integrating the aperture shape controller (ASC) in the Varian Eclipse system with a machine learning-based verification prediction model to improve gamma passing rates (GPRs) of LATTICE Radiotherapy (LRT) plans and redu...

Research on error classification in gamma analysis on the basis of dosimetric feature engineering and deep learning.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
. Gamma analysis serves as a critical safety assurance tool in radiotherapy, yet its broader clinical implementation remains constrained by insufficient error cause determination. To address this limitation, this study proposes a gamma passing rate (...

Machine learning techniques for the prediction of indoor gamma-ray dose rates - Strengths, weaknesses and implications for epidemiology.

Journal of environmental radioactivity
We investigate methods that improve the estimation of indoor gamma ray dose rates at locations where measurements had not been made. These new predictions use a greater range of modelling techniques and larger variety of explanatory variables than ou...

Improving the performance of deep learning models in predicting and classifying gamma passing rates with discriminative features and a class balancing technique: a retrospective cohort study.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to improve the deep learning (DL) model performance in predicting and classifying IMRT gamma passing rate (GPR) by using input features related to machine parameters and a class balancing technique.

Precise positioning of gamma ray interactions in multiplexed pixelated scintillators using artificial neural networks.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
. The positioning ofray interactions in positron emission tomography (PET) detectors is commonly made through the evaluation of the Anger logic flood histograms. machine learning techniques, leveraging features extracted from signal waveform, have de...

Assessment of the deep learning-based gamma passing rate prediction system for 1.5 T magnetic resonance-guided linear accelerator.

Radiological physics and technology
Measurement-based verification is impossible for the patient-specific quality assurance (QA) of online adaptive magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy (oMRgRT) because the patient remains on the couch throughout the session. We assessed a dee...

Explaining machine-learning models for gamma-ray detection and identification.

PloS one
As more complex predictive models are used for gamma-ray spectral analysis, methods are needed to probe and understand their predictions and behavior. Recent work has begun to bring the latest techniques from the field of Explainable Artificial Intel...

Inter-crystal scattering event identification using a novel silicon photomultiplier signal multiplexing method.

Physics in medicine and biology
Identifying the inter-crystal scatter (ICS) events and recovering the first interaction position enables the accurate determination of the line-of-response in positron emission tomography (PET). However, conventional silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) si...

A feasibility study of enhanced prompt gamma imaging for range verification in proton therapy using deep learning.

Physics in medicine and biology
. Range uncertainty is a major concern affecting the delivery precision in proton therapy. The Compton camera (CC)-based prompt-gamma (PG) imaging is a promising technique to provide 3Drange verification. However, the conventional back-projected PG i...

Resolution estimation in different monolithic PET detectors using neural networks.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: We use neural networks to evaluate and compare the spatial resolution of two different simulated monolithic PET detector elements. The effects of mixing events with single photoeffect interactions and multiple Compton scatterings are also st...
