Machine learning models to predict the delivered positions of Elekta multileaf collimator leaves for volumetric modulated arc therapy.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Accurate positioning of multileaf collimator (MLC) leaves during volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is essential for accurate treatment delivery. We developed a linear regression, support vector machine, random forest, extreme gradient ...

Treatment plan prediction for lung IMRT using deep learning based fluence map generation.

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: Recently, it has been shown that automated treatment planning can be executed by direct fluence prediction from patient anatomy using convolutional neural networks. Proof of principle publications utilise a fixed dose prescription and fixed ...

AI-based optimization for US-guided radiation therapy of the prostate.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
OBJECTIVES: Fast volumetric ultrasound presents an interesting modality for continuous and real-time intra-fractional target tracking in radiation therapy of lesions in the abdomen. However, the placement of the ultrasound probe close to the target s...

Development of an anthropomorphic multimodality pelvic phantom for quantitative evaluation of a deep-learning-based synthetic computed tomography generation technique.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to fabricate an anthropomorphic multimodality pelvic phantom to evaluate a deep-learning-based synthetic computed tomography (CT) algorithm for magnetic resonance (MR)-only radiotherapy.

Toward automatic beam angle selection for pencil-beam scanning proton liver treatments: A deep learning-based approach.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Dose deposition characteristics of proton radiation can be advantageous over photons. Proton treatment planning, however, poses additional challenges for the planners. Proton therapy is usually delivered with only a small number of beam a...

Millisecond speed deep learning based proton dose calculation with Monte Carlo accuracy.

Physics in medicine and biology
Next generation online and real-time adaptive radiotherapy workflows require precise particle transport simulations in sub-second times, which is unfeasible with current analytical pencil beam algorithms (PBA) or Monte Carlo (MC) methods. We present ...

Dose prediction via distance-guided deep learning: Initial development for nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Geometric information such as distance information is essential for dose calculations in radiotherapy. However, state-of-the-art dose prediction methods use only binary masks without distance information. This study aims to de...

Dosimetric assessment of patient dose calculation on a deep learning-based synthesized computed tomography image for adaptive radiotherapy.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Dose computation using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images is inaccurate for the purpose of adaptive treatment planning. The main goal of this study is to assess the dosimetric accuracy of synthetic computed tomography (CT)-based cal...

Dosimetric Study of Deep Learning-Guided ITV Prediction in Cone-beam CT for Lung Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy.

Frontiers in public health
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of a lung stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) treatment plan with the target of a newly predicted internal target volume (ITV) and the feasibility of its clinical application. ITV was ...
