Deep learning-based tools to distinguish plan-specific from generic deviations in EPID-based in vivo dosimetry.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Dose distributions calculated with electronic portal imaging device (EPID)-based in vivo dosimetry (EIVD) differ from planned dose distributions due to generic and plan-specific deviations. Generic deviations are characteristic to a class...

Deep Learning-Guided Dosimetry for Mitigating Local Failure of Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Receiving Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) stereotactic body radiation therapy with 50 Gy/5 fractions is sometimes considered controversial, as the nominal biologically effective dose (BED) of 100 Gy is felt by some to be insufficient for long-term ...

Geometric and dosimetric evaluation of deep learning based auto-segmentation for clinical target volume on breast cancer.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: Recently, target auto-segmentation techniques based on deep learning (DL) have shown promising results. However, inaccurate target delineation will directly affect the treatment planning dose distribution and the effect of subsequent radi...

Dicentric chromosome assay using a deep learning-based automated system.

Scientific reports
The dicentric chromosome assay is the "gold standard" in biodosimetry for estimating radiation exposure. However, its large-scale deployment is limited owing to its time-consuming nature and requirement for expert reviewers. Therefore, a recently dev...

Machine learning-based predictions of gamma passing rates for virtual specific-plan verification based on modulation maps, monitor unit profiles, and composite dose images.

Physics in medicine and biology
Machine learning (ML) methods have been implemented in radiotherapy to aid virtual specific-plan verification protocols, predicting gamma passing rates (GPR) based on calculated modulation complexity metrics because of their direct relation to dose d...
