Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become an essential tool in head and neck cancer (HNC) radiotherapy (RT) treatment delivery. Automatic segmentation of the organs at risk (OARs) on CBCT can trigger and accelerate treatment replanning but is s...
This study developed and evaluated an automatic segmentation model based on the Mamba framework (AM-UNet) for rapid and precise delineation of high-risk clinical target volume (HRCTV) and organs at risk (OARs) in cervical cancer brachytherapy. Using ...

AIMS: To assess geometric accuracy and dosimetric impact of a deep learning segmentation (DLS) model on a large, diverse dataset of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients treated with intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT).
This study was conducted to develop and validate a novel deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm incorporating the segment anything model (SAM) to enhance the accuracy of automatic contouring organs at risk during radiotherapy for cervical cancer...

OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a HyperArc-based RapidPlan (HARP) model for three-fraction brain stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) plans to then use to replan previously treated five-fraction SRT plans. Demonstrating the possibility of reducing the ...
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown deep learning techniques are able to predict three-dimensional (3D) dose distributions of radiotherapy treatment plans. However, their use in dose prediction for treatments with varied prescription doses includin...

PURPOSE: Deep learning-based segmentation of organs-at-risk (OAR) is emerging to become mainstream in clinical practice because of the superior performance over atlas and model-based autocontouring methods. While several commercial deep learning-base...
BACKGROUND: Quality control (QC) in radiotherapy planning is crucial for ensuring treatment efficacy and patient safety. Traditionally, QC relies on standard indicators and subjective assessments, which may lead to inconsistencies.
