INTRODUCTION: This study aims to apply a conditional Generative Adversarial Network (cGAN) to generate synthetic Computed Tomography (sCT) from 0.35 Tesla Magnetic Resonance (MR) images of the thorax.
Deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) is widely used to reduce the cardiac dose in left-sided breast cancer radiotherapy. This study aimed to develop a deep learning chest X-ray model for cardiac dose prediction to select patients with a potentially hi...
In preclinical radiotherapy with kilovolt (kV) x-ray beams, accurate treatment planning is needed to improve the translation potential to clinical trials. Monte Carlo based radiation transport simulations are the gold standard to calculate the absorb...
. To develop and evaluate a deep learning based fast volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plan generation method for prostate radiotherapy.. A customized 3D U-Net was trained and validated to predict initial segments at 90 evenly distributed contr...
The use of deep learning (DL) to improve cone-beam CT (CBCT) image quality has gained popularity as computational resources and algorithmic sophistication have advanced in tandem. CBCT imaging has the potential to facilitate online adaptive radiation...
