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 ...
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to evaluate whether deep learning-based detection and quantification of brain metastasis (BM) may suggest treatment options for patients with BMs.

BACKGROUND: Deep learning-based segmentation algorithms usually required large or multi-institute data sets to improve the performance and ability of generalization. However, protecting patient privacy is a key concern in the multi-institutional stud...
BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy (RT) is involved in about 50% of all cancer patients, making it a very important treatment modality. The most common type of RT is external beam RT, which consists of delivering the radiation to the tumor from outside the bod...

PURPOSE: We previously developed a virtual treatment planner (VTP), an artificial intelligence robot, operating a treatment planning system (TPS). Using deep reinforcement learning guided by human knowledge, we trained the VTP to autonomously adjust ...
BACKGROUND: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) produces excellent local control for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the risk of toxicity for normal liver tissue is still a limiting factor. Normal tissue complication pro...
PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence-based tools can be leveraged to improve detection and segmentation of brain metastases for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). VBrain by Vysioneer Inc. is a deep learning algorithm with recent FDA clearance to assist in ...
