PURPOSE: Precise histological classification of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has immanent diagnostic and therapeutic consequences, but remains challenging in histological routine. The aim of this pilot study is to examine the potential of matrix-a...
The advantage of proton therapy as compared to photon therapy stems from the Bragg peak effect, which allows protons to deposit most of their energy directly at the tumor while sparing healthy tissue. However, even with such benefits, proton therapy ...
This study aims to address the limitations of traditional methods for calculating linear energy transfer (LET), a critical component in assessing relative biological effectiveness (RBE). Currently, Monte Carlo (MC) simulation, the gold-standard for a...
This study explores the use of neural networks (NNs) as surrogate models for Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations in predicting the dose-averaged linear energy transfer (LET) of protons in proton-beam therapy based on the planned dose distribution and patien...
