We propose a new variance reduction technique called last vertex splitting (LVS) designed to reduce computation time in Monte Carlo (MC) simulations for particles traversing high-attenuating media, such as the collimator and other beam-limiting devic...
This paper introduces linac beam modelling network (LBMnet), a deep-learning-based approach for efficient linac beam modelling, generating percentage depth dose (PDD) and beam profiles by predicting beam data from sparse single-field measurements, th...
This work aims to develop and investigate the feasibility of a hybrid model combining Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and deep learning (DL) to predict electronic portal imaging device (EPID) images based on MC-generated exit phase space energy fluence ...
BACKGROUND: Multi-leaf collimators (MLCs) are crucial for modern radiotherapy as they ensure precise target irradiation through accurate leaf positioning. Accurate prediction of MLC leaf positions is vital for the effectiveness and safety of treatmen...

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...
Measurement-based verification is impossible for the patient-specific quality assurance (QA) of online adaptive magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy (oMRgRT) because the patient remains on the couch throughout the session. We assessed a dee...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the clinical applicability of a commercial artificial intelligence-driven deep learning auto-segmentation (DLAS) tool on enhanced iterative cone beam computed tomography (iCBCT) acquisitions ...
. UNet-based deep-learning (DL) architectures are promising dose engines for traditional linear accelerator (Linac) models. Current UNet-based engines, however, were designed differently with various strategies, making it challenging to fairly compar...
