BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the plan quality of our deep learning-based automated treatment planning method for robustly optimized intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) plans in patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPC)...
BACKGROUND: Patients may undergo anatomical changes during radiotherapy, leading to an underdosing of the target or overdosing of the organs at risk (OARs).

PURPOSE: To develop a non-coplanar cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) image reconstruction method using projections within a limited angle range for non-coplanar radiotherapy.
A robotic needle implant device for MR-guided high-dose-rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy was developed. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and spatial accuracy of HDR brachytherapy using the robotic device, for a single intraprostatic target...
Dose prediction is a crucial step in automated radiotherapy planning for liver cancer. Several deep learning-based approaches for dose prediction have been proposed to enhance the design efficiency and quality of radiotherapy plan. However, these app...
