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...
In this work we present a framework for robust deep learning-based VMAT forward dose calculations for the 1.5T MR-linac. A convolutional neural network was trained on the dose of individual multi-leaf-collimator VMAT segments and was used to predict ...
