PURPOSE: The purpose of the study is to investigate the clinical application of deep learning (DL)-assisted automatic radiotherapy planning for lung cancer.
PURPOSE: Organ-at-risk segmentation is essential in adaptive radiotherapy (ART). Learning-based automatic segmentation can reduce committed labor and accelerate the ART process. In this study, an auto-segmentation model was developed by employing ind...
Scanned particle therapy often requires complex treatment plans, robust optimization, as well as treatment adaptation. Plan optimization is especially complicated for heavy ions due to the variable relative biological effectiveness. We present a nove...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To investigate the feasibility of synthesizing computed tomography (CT) images from magnetic resonance (MR) images in multi-center datasets using generative adversarial networks (GANs) for rectal cancer MR-only radiotherapy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Various deep learning auto-segmentation (DLAS) models have been proposed, some of which have been commercialized. However, the issue of performance degradation is notable when pretrained models are deployed in the clinic. This...

PURPOSE: The positional accuracy of MLC is an important element in establishing the exact dosimetry in VMAT. We comprehensively analyzed factors that may affect MLC positional accuracy in VMAT, and constructed a model to predict MLC positional deviat...
BACKGROUND: Deep learning (DL) models for auto-segmentation in radiotherapy have been extensively studied in retrospective and pilot settings. However, these studies might not reflect the clinical setting. This study compares the use of a clinically ...
Organ segmentation has become a preliminary task for computer-aided intervention, diagnosis, radiation therapy, and critical robotic surgery. Automatic organ segmentation from medical images is a challenging task due to the inconsistent shape and siz...
BACKGROUND: Multiple artificial intelligence (AI)-based autocontouring solutions have become available, each promising high accuracy and time savings compared with manual contouring. Before implementing AI-driven autocontouring into clinical practice...
To evaluate the feasibility of using a deep learning dose prediction approach to identify patients who could benefit most from proton therapy based on the normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) model.Two 3D UNets were established to predict ph...
