Early prediction of proton therapy dose distributions and DVHs for hepatocellular carcinoma using contour-based CNN models from diagnostic CT and MRI.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Proton therapy is commonly used for treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, its feasibility can be challenging to assess in large tumors or those adjacent to critical organs at risk (OARs), which are typically assessed only afte...

The dosimetric impacts of ct-based deep learning autocontouring algorithm for prostate cancer radiotherapy planning dosimetric accuracy of DirectORGANS.

BMC urology
PURPOSE: In study, we aimed to dosimetrically evaluate the usability of a new generation autocontouring algorithm (DirectORGANS) that automatically identifies organs and contours them directly in the computed tomography (CT) simulator before creating...

Statistical toolkit for analysis of radiotherapy DICOM data.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
Radiotherapy (RT) has become increasingly sophisticated, necessitating advanced tools for analyzing extensive treatment data in hospital databases. Such analyses can enhance future treatments, particularly through Knowledge-Based Planning, and aid in...

Deep learning-based delineation of whole-body organs at risk empowering adaptive radiotherapy.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Accurate delineation of organs at risk (OARs) is crucial for precision radiotherapy. Most previous autosegmentation models were only constructed for single anatomical region without evaluation of dosimetric impact. We aimed to validate th...

Prior knowledge of anatomical relationships supports automatic delineation of clinical target volume for cervical cancer.

Scientific reports
Deep learning has been used for automatic planning of radiotherapy targets, such as inferring the clinical target volume (CTV) for a given new patient. However, previous deep learning methods mainly focus on predicting CTV from CT images without cons...

Beam orientation optimization in IMRT using sparse mixed integer programming and non-convex fluence map optimization.

Physics in medicine and biology
Beam orientation optimization (BOO) in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a complex, non-convex problem traditionally addressed with heuristic methods.This work demonstrates the potential improvement of the proposed BOO, providing a math...

Quantitative and automatic plan-of-the-day assessment to facilitate adaptive radiotherapy in cervical cancer.

Physics in medicine and biology
To facilitate implementation of plan-of-the-day (POTD) selection for treating locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), we developed a POTD assessment tool for CBCT-guided radiotherapy (RT). A female pelvis segmentation model (U-Seg3) is combined with...

Evaluation of deliverable artificial intelligence-based automated volumetric arc radiation therapy planning for whole pelvic radiation in gynecologic cancer.

Scientific reports
This study aimed to develop a deep learning (DL)-based deliverable whole pelvic volumetric arc radiation therapy (VMAT) for patients with gynecologic cancer using a prototype DL-based automated planning support system, named RatoGuide, to evaluate it...

Using deep learning generated CBCT contours for online dose assessment of prostate SABR treatments.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
Prostate Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR) is an ultra-hypofractionated treatment where small setup errors can lead to higher doses to organs at risk (OARs). Although bowel and bladder preparation protocols reduce inter-fraction variabil...

Reinforcement learning-driven automated head and neck simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) radiation therapy: flexible treatment planning aligned with clinical preferences.

Physics in medicine and biology
Head-and-neck simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) treatment planning using intensity modulated radiation therapy is particularly challenging due to the proximity to organs-at-risk. Depending on the specific clinical conditions, different parotid-spar...
