BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Timely identification of local failure after stereotactic radiotherapy for brain metastases allows for treatment modifications, potentially improving outcomes. While previous studies showed that adding radiomics or Deep Learni...
BACKGROUND: Accurate calculation of lung cancer dose using the Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm in CyberKnife (CK) is essential for precise planning. We aim to employ deep learning to directly predict the 3D dose distribution calculated by the MC algorithm...
INTRODUCTION: - Accurate detection, segmentation, and volumetric analysis of brain lesions are essential in neuro-oncology. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based models have improved the efficiency of these processes. This study evaluated an AI-based mo...
PURPOSE: Recent papers suggested a correlation between the risk of distant metastasis (DM) and dose outside the PTV, though conclusions in different publications conflicted. This study resolves these conflicts and provides a compelling explanation of...

Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) is a well-established technique in radiation therapy (RT) for treating small-size brain tumors. It administers highly concentrated doses during each treatment fraction, with even minor dose errors posing a significant ...
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for over 85% of cases and poor prognosis in advanced stages. This study explored shifts in circulating metabolite levels in NSCLC p...

INTRODUCTION: Use of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) for central lung tumors can result in up to a 35% incidence of late pulmonary toxicity. We evaluated an automated scoring method to quantify post-SABR bronchial changes by using artificia...
Online adaptive radiotherapy (OART) is a promising technique for delivering stereotactic accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI), as lumpectomy cavities vary in location and size between simulation and treatment. However, OART is resource-inten...
