Single-time-point (STP) image-based dosimetry offers a more convenient approach for clinical practice in radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) compared with conventional multiple-time-point image-based dosimetry. Despite numerous advancements, current ST...
An MRI-only workflow requires synthetic computed tomography (sCT) images to enable dose calculation. This study evaluated the dosimetric and patient positioning accuracy of deep learning-generated sCT for liver radiotherapy.sCT images were generated ...
. The dose distribution of lung cancer patients treated with the CyberKnife (CK) system is influenced by various factors, including tumor location and the direction of CK beams. The objective of this study is to present a deep learning approach that ...
BACKGROUND: Computed tomography (CT) scans are a major source of medical radiation exposure worldwide. In countries like China, the frequency of CT scans has grown rapidly, thus making available a large volume of organ dose information. With modern c...
BACKGROUND: Conventional proton dose calculation methods are either time- and resource-intensive, like Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, or they sacrifice accuracy, as seen with analytical methods. This trade-off between computational efficiency and accu...
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become an essential tool in head and neck cancer (HNC) radiotherapy (RT) treatment delivery. Automatic segmentation of the organs at risk (OARs) on CBCT can trigger and accelerate treatment replanning but is s...
