A hybrid method of correcting CBCT for proton range estimation with deep learning and deformable image registration.

Physics in medicine and biology
. This study aimed to develop a novel method for generating synthetic CT (sCT) from cone-beam CT (CBCT) of the abdomen/pelvis with bowel gas pockets to facilitate estimation of proton ranges.. CBCT, the same-day repeat CT, and the planning CT (pCT) o...

Deep learning proton beam range estimation model for quality assurance based on two-dimensional scintillated light distributions in simulations.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Many studies have utilized optical camera systems with volumetric scintillators for quality assurances (QA) to estimate the proton beam range. However, previous analytically driven range estimation methods have the difficulty to derive th...

Exploring contrast generalisation in deep learning-based brain MRI-to-CT synthesis.

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)
BACKGROUND: Synthetic computed tomography (sCT) has been proposed and increasingly clinically adopted to enable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiotherapy. Deep learning (DL) has recently demonstrated the ability to generate accurate sCT fro...

Virtual pretreatment patient-specific quality assurance of volumetric modulated arc therapy using deep learning.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Automatic patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) is recently explored using artificial intelligence approaches, and several studies reported the development of machine learning models for predicting the gamma pass rate (GPR) index only...

Fastcalculation in LDR brachytherapy using deep learning methods.

Physics in medicine and biology
The Monte Carlo (MC) method provides a complete solution to the tissue heterogeneity effects in low-energy low-dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy. However, long computation times limit the clinical implementation of MC-based treatment planning solutions. ...

Deep learning-based protoacoustic signal denoising for proton range verification.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
Proton therapy is a type of radiation therapy that can provide better dose distribution compared to photon therapy by delivering most of the energy at the end of range, which is called the Bragg peak (BP). The protoacoustic technique was developed to...

Comprehensive dose evaluation of a Deep Learning based synthetic Computed Tomography algorithm for pelvic Magnetic Resonance-only radiotherapy.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Magnetic Resonance (MR)-only radiotherapy enables the use of MR without the uncertainty of MR-Computed Tomography (CT) registration. This requires a synthetic CT (sCT) for dose calculations, which can be facilitated by a novel...
