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 ...

PURPOSE: Accurate positioning of multileaf collimator (MLC) leaves during volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is essential for accurate treatment delivery. We developed a linear regression, support vector machine, random forest, extreme gradient ...
To develop a novel deep learning-based 3Ddose reconstruction framework with an electronic portal imaging device (EPID) for magnetic resonance-linear accelerators (MR-LINACs).The proposed method directly back-projected 2D portal dose into 3D patient c...

Radiation therapy requires clinical linear accelerators to be mechanically and dosimetrically calibrated to a high standard. One important quality assurance test is the Winston-Lutz test which localises the radiation isocentre of the linac. In the cu...
BACKGROUND: Any Monte Carlo simulation of dose delivery using medical accelerator-generated megavolt photon beams begins by simulating electrons of the primary electron beam interacting with a target. Because the electron beam characteristics of any ...

PURPOSE: To develop a deep learning model to generate synthetic CT for MR-only radiotherapy of prostate cancer patients treated with 0.35 T MRI linear accelerator.
The era of real-time radiotherapy is upon us. Robotic and gimbaled linac tracking are clinically established technologies with the clinical realization of couch tracking in development. Multileaf collimators (MLCs) are a standard equipment for most c...
We present a robust deep learning-based framework for dose calculations of abdominal tumours in a 1.5 T MRI radiotherapy system. For a set of patient plans, a convolutional neural network is trained on the dose of individual multi-leaf-collimator seg...
We present DeepDose, a deep learning framework for fast dose calculations in radiation therapy. Given a patient anatomy and linear-accelerator IMRT multi-leaf-collimator shape or segment, a novel set of physics-based inputs is calculated that encode ...
