This study aimed to generate a delayed Cu-dotatate (DOTA)-rituximab positron emission tomography (PET) image from its early-scanned image by deep learning to mitigate the inconvenience and cost of estimating absorbed radiopharmaceutical doses. We acq...
PURPOSE: Conventional radiotherapy (CRT) has limited local control and poses a high risk of severe toxicity in large lung tumors. This study aimed to develop an integrated treatment plan that combines CRT with lattice boost radiotherapy (LRT) and mon...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the dosimetric impact of deep-learning-based auto-contouring for clinical target volume (CTV) and organs at risk (OARs) delineation in prostate cancer radiotherapy planning. Additionally, we compared the geome...
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) represents a revolutionary approach in targeted radiation treatment for cancer. While the therapy's potential in precise targeting is well-recognized, a critical bottleneck remains in the accurate positioning of p...
Radioligand therapy is an emerging and effective treatment option for various types of malignancies, but may be intricately linked to hematological side effects such as anemia, lymphopenia or thrombocytopenia. The safety and efficacy of novel therano...

PURPOSE: To propose a novel deep-learning based dosimetry method that allows quick and accurate estimation of organ doses for individual patients, using only their computed tomography (CT) images as input.
BACKGROUND: Deformable registration is required to generate a time-integrated activity (TIA) map which is essential for voxel-based dosimetry. The conventional iterative registration algorithm using anatomical images (e.g., computed tomography (CT)) ...
