Deep learning based linear energy transfer calculation for proton therapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
This study aims to address the limitations of traditional methods for calculating linear energy transfer (LET), a critical component in assessing relative biological effectiveness (RBE). Currently, Monte Carlo (MC) simulation, the gold-standard for a...

Personalized Composite Dosimetric Score-Based Machine Learning Model of Severe Radiation-Induced Lymphopenia Among Patients With Esophageal Cancer.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Radiation-induced lymphopenia (RIL) is common among patients undergoing radiation therapy (RT)' Severe RIL has been linked to adverse outcomes. The severity and risk of RIL can be predicted from baseline clinical characteristics and dosimetr...

Enhancing Precision in Cardiac Segmentation for Magnetic Resonance-Guided Radiation Therapy Through Deep Learning.

International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics
PURPOSE: Cardiac substructure dose metrics are more strongly linked to late cardiac morbidities than to whole-heart metrics. Magnetic resonance (MR)-guided radiation therapy (MRgRT) enables substructure visualization during daily localization, allowi...

A machine learning-based approach to predict energy layer for each field in spot-scanning proton arc therapy for lung cancer: A feasibility study.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Determining the optimal energy layer (EL) for each field, under considering both dose constraints and delivery efficiency, is crucial to promoting the development of proton arc therapy (PAT) technology.

Interpretable deep learning insights: Unveiling the role of 1 Gy volume on lymphopenia after radiotherapy in breast cancer.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND: Lymphopenia is known for its significance on poor survivals in breast cancer patients. Considering full dosimetric data, this study aimed to develop and validate predictive models for lymphopenia after radiotherapy (RT) in breast cancer.

MRI-only based material mass density and relative stopping power estimation via deep learning for proton therapy: a preliminary study.

Scientific reports
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is increasingly being used in treatment planning due to its superior soft tissue contrast, which is useful for tumor and soft tissue delineation compared to computed tomography (CT). However, MRI cannot directly provi...

A dosiomics model for prediction of radiation-induced acute skin toxicity in breast cancer patients: machine learning-based study for a closed bore linac.

European journal of medical research
BACKGROUND: Radiation induced acute skin toxicity (AST) is considered as a common side effect of breast radiation therapy. The goal of this study was to design dosiomics-based machine learning (ML) models for prediction of AST, to enable creating opt...

Novel dosimetric validation of a commercial CT scanner based deep learning automated contour solution for prostate radiotherapy.

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: OAR delineation accuracy influences: (i) a patient's optimised dose distribution (PD), (ii) the reported doses (RD) presented at approval, which represent plan quality. This study utilised a novel dosimetric validation methodology, comprehen...

Error detection for radiotherapy planning validation based on deep learning networks.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: Quality assurance (QA) of patient-specific treatment plans for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) necessitates prior validation. However, the standard methodology exhibits deficiencies...

Multimodal radiotherapy dose prediction using a multi-task deep learning model.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: In radiation therapy (RT), accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) has emerged as an increasingly preferred treatment modality over conventional whole breast irradiation due to its targeted dose delivery and shorter course of treatm...
