Impact of nominal photon energies on normal tissue sparing in knowledge-based radiotherapy treatment planning for rectal cancer patients.

PloS one
The interactive adjustment of the optimization objectives during the treatment planning process has made it difficult to evaluate the impact of beam quality exclusively in radiotherapy. Without consensus in the published results, the arbitrary select...

Deep Learning-Based Delineation of Head and Neck Organs at Risk: Geometric and Dosimetric Evaluation.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Organ-at-risk (OAR) delineation is a key step in treatment planning but can be time consuming, resource intensive, subject to variability, and dependent on anatomical knowledge. We studied deep learning (DL) for automated delineation of mult...

Automated noncoplanar treatment planning strategy in stereotactic radiosurgery of multiple cranial metastases: HyperArc and CyberKnife dose distributions.

Medical dosimetry : official journal of the American Association of Medical Dosimetrists
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the dosimetric effects of HyperArc-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and a robotic radiosurgery system-based planning using CyberKnife for multiple cranial metastases. In total, 11 cancer pati...

Dose evaluation of MRI-based synthetic CT generated using a machine learning method for prostate cancer radiotherapy.

Medical dosimetry : official journal of the American Association of Medical Dosimetrists
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-only radiotherapy treatment planning is attractive since MRI provides superior soft tissue contrast over computed tomographies (CTs), without the ionizing radiation exposure. However, it requires the generation of a s...

Prediction of skin dose in low-kV intraoperative radiotherapy using machine learning models trained on results of in vivo dosimetry.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to implement a machine learning model to predict skin dose from targeted intraoperative (TARGIT) treatment resulting in timely adoption of strategies to limit excessive skin dose.

Dosimetric features-driven machine learning model for DVH prediction in VMAT treatment planning.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Few features characterizing the dosimetric properties of the patients are included in currently available dose-volume histogram (DVH) prediction models, making it intractable to build a correlative relationship between the input and output p...

Knowledge-based dose prediction models for head and neck cancer are strongly affected by interorgan dependency and dataset inconsistency.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to generate a large treatment plan database for head and neck (H&N) cancer patients that can be considered as the gold standard to train and validate models for knowledge-based (KB) treatment planning and QA. With ...

Multi-Institutional Validation of a Knowledge-Based Planning Model for Patients Enrolled in RTOG 0617: Implications for Plan Quality Controls in Cooperative Group Trials.

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using a single-institution, knowledge-based planning (KBP) model as a dosimetric plan quality control (QC) for multi-institutional clinical trials. The efficacy of this QC tool was retrospectiv...

Deep-learning based surface region selection for deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) monitoring in left breast cancer radiotherapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
Deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) with surface supervising is a common technique for cardiac dose reduction in left breast cancer radiotherapy. Surface supervision accuracy relies on the characteristics of surface region. In this study, a convoluti...

Technical Note: More accurate and efficient segmentation of organs-at-risk in radiotherapy with convolutional neural networks cascades.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Manual delineation of organs-at-risk (OARs) in radiotherapy is both time-consuming and subjective. Automated and more accurate segmentation is of the utmost importance in clinical application. The purpose of this study is to further improve ...
