PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop and evaluate a novel strategy for establishing a deep learning-based gamma passing rate (GPR) prediction model for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) using dummy target plan data, one measurement process, and...
PURPOSE: We sought to develop machine learning models to detect multileaf collimator (MLC) modeling errors with the use of radiomic features of fluence maps measured in patient-specific quality assurance (QA) for intensity-modulated radiation therapy...
PURPOSE: The utility of complexity metrics has been assessed for IMRT and VMAT treatment plans, but this analysis has never been performed for CyberKnife (CK) plans. The purpose of this study is to perform a complexity analysis of CK MLC plans, adapt...
PURPOSE: A recurrent neural network (RNN) and its variants such as gated recurrent unit-based RNN (GRU-RNN) were found to be very suitable for dose-volume histogram (DVH) prediction in our previously published work. Using the dosimetric information g...
BACKGROUND: Whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) can impair patients' cognitive function. Hippocampal avoidance during WBRT can potentially prevent this side effect. However, manually delineating the target area is time-consuming and difficult. Here, we p...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the dosimetric and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) performance of a novel generative adversarial network (GAN) generated synthetic CT (synCT) in the brain and compare its performance for clinical use including conventional ...
Accurate and efficient dose calculation is an important prerequisite to ensure the success of radiation therapy. However, all the dose calculation algorithms commonly used in current clinical practice have to compromise between calculation accuracy a...
To study radiotherapy-related adverse effects, detailed dose information (3D distribution) is needed for accurate dose-effect modeling. For childhood cancer survivors who underwent radiotherapy in the pre-CT era, only 2D radiographs were acquired, th...
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)- and magnetic resonance (MR)-images allow a daily observation of patient anatomy but are not directly suited for accurate proton dose calculations. This can be overcome by creating synthetic CTs (sCT) using deep c...
