PURPOSE: We introduced and evaluated an end-to-end organs-at-risk (OARs) segmentation model that can provide accurate and consistent OARs segmentation results in much less time.
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate a hybrid automated treatment planning (HAP) solution that combines knowledge-based planning (KBP) and script-based planning for esophageal cancer.

BACKGROUND: Deep learning-based auto-segmented contours (DC) aim to alleviate labour intensive contouring of organs at risk (OAR) and clinical target volumes (CTV). Most previous DC validation studies have a limited number of expert observers for com...
BACKGROUND: Accurate and standardized descriptions of organs at risk (OARs) are essential in radiation therapy for treatment planning and evaluation. Traditionally, physicians have contoured patient images manually, which, is time-consuming and subje...
Artificial intelligence demonstrated its value for automated contouring of organs at risk and target volumes as well as for auto-planning of radiation dose distributions in terms of saving time, increasing consistency, and improving dose-volumes para...

We studied the dosimetry of single-isocenter treatment plans generated to treat a solitary intracranial lesion using linac-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). A common metric for evaluating SRS plan quality is the volume of normal brain tissue irr...

INTRODUCTION: Adequate head and neck (HN) organ-at-risk (OAR) delineation is crucial for HN radiotherapy and for investigating the relationships between radiation dose to OARs and radiation-induced side effects. The automatic contouring algorithms th...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Manual contouring is labor intensive, and subject to variations in operator knowledge, experience and technique. This work aims to develop an automated computed tomography (CT) multi-organ segmentation method for prostate canc...
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignancy with unique clinical biological profiles such as associated Epstein-Barr virus infection and high radiosensitivity. Radiotherapy has long been recognized as the mainstay for the treatment of NPC. However...
