PURPOSE: Intra- and inter-observer contour uncertainty is a continuous challenge in treatment planning for radiotherapy. Our proposed solution to address this challenge is the use of partial contours for treatment planning, focusing on uninvolved or ...
BACKGROUND: Proton pencil beam scanning (PBS) treatment planning for head and neck (H&N) cancers is a time-consuming and experience-demanding task where a large number of potentially conflicting planning objectives are involved. Deep reinforcement le...
PURPOSE: Conventional radiotherapy (CRT) has limited local control and poses a high risk of severe toxicity in large lung tumors. This study aimed to develop an integrated treatment plan that combines CRT with lattice boost radiotherapy (LRT) and mon...

PURPOSE: To investigate the performance of a machine learning-based segmentation method for treatment planning of gastric cancer.
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess and compare two state-of-the-art deep learning approaches for segmenting four thoracic organs at riskĀ (OAR)-the esophagus, trachea, heart, and aorta-in CT images in the context of radiotherapy planning.
To develop a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) agent to self-interact with the treatment planning system to automatically generate intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment plans for head-and-neck (HN) cancer with consistent organ-at-ris...
