BACKGROUND: In recent years, deep-learning models have been used to predict entire three-dimensional dose distributions. However, the usability of dose predictions to improve plan quality should be further investigated.
BACKGROUND: In the Danish Head and Neck Cancer Group (DAHANCA) 35 trial, patients are selected for proton treatment based on simulated reductions of Normal Tissue Complication Probability (NTCP) for proton compared to photon treatment at the referrin...
Deep-learning auto-contouring (DL-AC) promises standardisation of organ-at-risk (OAR) contouring, enhancing quality and improving efficiency in radiotherapy. No commercial models exist for OAR contouring based on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI...
PURPOSE: The large variability in tumor appearance and shape makes manual delineation of the clinical target volume (CTV) time-consuming, and the results depend on the oncologists' experience. Whereas deep learning techniques have allowed oncologists...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance imaging guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) offers treatment plan adaptation to the anatomy of the day. In the current MRgRT workflow, this requires the time consuming and repetitive task of manual delineation of or...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To date, data used in the development of Deep Learning-based automatic contouring (DLC) algorithms have been largely sourced from single geographic populations. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of population-based bias by...
BACKGROUND: Deep learning auto-segmentation (DLAS) models have been adopted in the clinic; however, they suffer from performance deterioration owing to the clinical practice variability. Some commercial DLAS software provide an incremental retraining...
PURPOSE: Delineation of the clinical target volume (CTV) and organs-at-risk (OARs) is important in cervical cancer radiotherapy. But it is generally labor-intensive, time-consuming, and subjective. This paper proposes a parallel-path attention fusion...
