BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To establish predictive models for radiation-induced hypoglossal neuropathy (RIHN) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) after intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).
. The dose distribution of lung cancer patients treated with the CyberKnife (CK) system is influenced by various factors, including tumor location and the direction of CK beams. The objective of this study is to present a deep learning approach that ...

BACKGROUND: The use of deep learning-based auto-contouring algorithms in various treatment planning services is increasingly common. There is a notable deficit of commercially or publicly available models trained on large or diverse datasets containi...
BACKGROUND: Previous knowledge-based planning studies have demonstrated the feasibility of predicting three-dimensional photon dose distributions and subsequently generating treatment plans. The steepness of dose fall-off represents a critical metric...

PURPOSE: Volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) treatment planning allows a compromise between a sufficient coverage of the planning target volume (PTV) and a simultaneous sparing of organs-at-risk (OARs). Particularly in the case of lung tumors, de...

INTRODUCTION: Many artificial intelligence (AI) solutions have been proposed to enhance the radiotherapy (RT) workflow, but limited applications have been implemented to date, suggesting an implementation gap. One contributing factor to this gap is a...
BACKGROUND: Conventional proton dose calculation methods are either time- and resource-intensive, like Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, or they sacrifice accuracy, as seen with analytical methods. This trade-off between computational efficiency and accu...
To evaluate the impact of beam mask implementation and data aggregation on artificial intelligence-based dose prediction accuracy in proton therapy, with a focus on scenarios involving limited or highly heterogeneous datasets.In this study, 541 prost...
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become an essential tool in head and neck cancer (HNC) radiotherapy (RT) treatment delivery. Automatic segmentation of the organs at risk (OARs) on CBCT can trigger and accelerate treatment replanning but is s...
This study developed and evaluated an automatic segmentation model based on the Mamba framework (AM-UNet) for rapid and precise delineation of high-risk clinical target volume (HRCTV) and organs at risk (OARs) in cervical cancer brachytherapy. Using ...
