Quality of gastrointestinal endoscopy is a major determinant of its effectiveness. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to enhance quality monitoring and improve endoscopy outcomes. This article reviews the current literature on AI algorith...
BACKGROUND: Online adaptive radiotherapy (OART) and rapid quality assurance (QA) are essential for effective heavy ion therapy (HIT). However, there is a shortage of deep learning (DL) models and workflows for predicting Monte Carlo (MC) doses in suc...
BACKGROUND: Dosimetric commissioning and quality assurance (QA) for linear accelerators (LINACs) present a significant challenge for clinical physicists due to the high measurement workload and stringent precision standards. This challenge is exacerb...
BACKGROUND: Palliative spine radiation therapy is prone to treatment at the wrong anatomic level. We developed a fully automated deep learning-based spine-targeting quality assurance system (DL-SpiQA) for detecting treatment at the wrong anatomic lev...
