A deep-learning-based surrogate model for Monte-Carlo simulations of the linear energy transfer in primary brain tumor patients treated with proton-beam radiotherapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
This study explores the use of neural networks (NNs) as surrogate models for Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations in predicting the dose-averaged linear energy transfer (LET) of protons in proton-beam therapy based on the planned dose distribution and patien...

Deep learning applied to dose prediction in external radiation therapy: A narrative review.

Cancer radiotherapie : journal de la Societe francaise de radiotherapie oncologique
Over the last decades, the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning in medical fields has skyrocketed. Well known for their results in segmentation, motion management and posttreatment outcome tasks, investigations of machin...

Deep learning based clinical target volumes contouring for prostate cancer: Easy and efficient application.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy has been crucial in prostate cancer treatment. However, manual segmentation is labor intensive and highly variable among radiation oncologists. In this study, a deep learning based automated contouring model is constructed fo...

Deep learning-based dose prediction for magnetic resonance-guided prostate radiotherapy.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Daily adaptive radiotherapy, as performed with the Elekta Unity MR-Linac, requires choosing between different adaptation methods, namely ATP (Adapt to Position) and ATS (Adapt to Shape), where the latter requires daily re-contouring to ob...

Deep learning architecture with shunted transformer and 3D deformable convolution for voxel-level dose prediction of head and neck tumors.

Physical and engineering sciences in medicine
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has been widely used in treating head and neck tumors. However, due to the complex anatomical structures in the head and neck region, it is challenging for the plan optimizer to rapidly generate clinically...

Integrating Deep Learning-Based Dose Distribution Prediction with Bayesian Networks for Decision Support in Radiotherapy for Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer.

Cancer research and treatment
PURPOSE: Selecting the better techniques to harbor optimal motion management, either a stereotactic linear accelerator delivery using TrueBeam (TBX) or magnetic resonance-guided gated delivery using MRIdian (MRG), is time-consuming and costly. To add...

Clinical implementation and evaluation of deep learning-assisted automatic radiotherapy treatment planning for lung cancer.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: The purpose of the study is to investigate the clinical application of deep learning (DL)-assisted automatic radiotherapy planning for lung cancer.

Improving 3D dose prediction for breast radiotherapy using novel glowing masks and gradient-weighted loss functions.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: The quality of treatment plans for breast cancer can vary greatly. This variation could be reduced by using dose prediction to automate treatment planning. Our work investigates novel methods for training deep-learning models that are cap...

Improving the performance of deep learning models in predicting and classifying gamma passing rates with discriminative features and a class balancing technique: a retrospective cohort study.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to improve the deep learning (DL) model performance in predicting and classifying IMRT gamma passing rate (GPR) by using input features related to machine parameters and a class balancing technique.

Enhanced 3D dose prediction for hypofractionated SRS (gamma knife radiosurgery) in brain tumor using cascaded-deep-supervised convolutional neural network.

Physical and engineering sciences in medicine
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 ...
