Image-guided treatment adaptation is a game changer in oncological particle therapy (PT), especially for younger patients. The purpose of this study is to present a cycle generative adversarial network (CycleGAN)-based method for synthetic computed t...
. Intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) is susceptible to uncertainties in patient setup and proton range. Robust optimization is employed in IMPT treatment planning to ensure sufficient coverage of the clinical target volume (CTV) in predefined ...
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...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Few studies have examined the factors associated with xerostomia during proton and carbon ion radiotherapy for head and neck cancer (HNC), which are reported to have fewer toxic effects compared to traditional photon-based rad...
PURPOSE: To develop a fully AI-based dose estimation model capable of learning and estimating single pencil beam dose distributions, and to verify its performance by testing the model's generalizability on unseen, previously delivered treatment plans...

AIMS: To assess geometric accuracy and dosimetric impact of a deep learning segmentation (DLS) model on a large, diverse dataset of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients treated with intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT).
To evaluate the impact of beam mask implementation and data aggregation on artificial intelligence-based dose prediction accuracy in proton therapy, with a focus on scenarios involving limited or highly heterogeneous datasets.In this study, 541 prost...
To assess the performance of a probabilistic deep learning based algorithm for predicting inter-fraction anatomical changes in head and neck patients.A probabilistic daily anatomy model (DAM) for head and neck patients DAM (DAM) is built on the varia...
To better integrate into processes like rapid adaptive planning and quality assurance, this study aims to propose a lightweight and universal proton spot dose calculation model suitable for arbitrary energies.Given the alignment between the character...
