AIM: To train and validate a comprehensive deep-learning (DL) segmentation model for loco-regional breast cancer with the aim of clinical implementation.
. The aim of this work is an AI based approach to reduce the volume effect of ionization chambers used to measure high energy photon beams in radiotherapy. In particular for profile measurements, the air-filled volume leads to an inaccurate measureme...
