BACKGROUND: Organs at risk (OARs) delineation is a crucial step of radiotherapy (RT) treatment planning workflow. Time-consuming and inter-observer variability are main issues in manual OAR delineation, mainly in the head and neck (H & N) district. D...
INTRODUCTION: It is estimated that around 50% of cancer patients require Radiotherapy (RT) at some point during their treatment, hence Therapeutic Radiographers/Radiation Therapists (TR/RTTs) have a key role to play in patient management. It is essen...

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...
