To detect errors in patient-specific quality assurance (QA) for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), we proposed an error detection method based on dose distribution analysis using unsupervised deep learning approach and analyzed 161 prostate VMA...
BACKGROUND: Brain metastases are the most common intracranial tumors in adults and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) is used frequently in patients for palliation, but can result in neurocognitiv...

PURPOSE: To predict the voxel-based dose distribution for postoperative cervical cancer patients underwent volumetric modulated arc therapy using deep learning models.
PURPOSE: We developed a deep neural network that queries the lung computed tomography-derived feature space to identify radiation sensitivity parameters that can predict treatment failures and hence guide the individualization of radiotherapy dose. I...

PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate an automatic intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) program for cervical cancer, including a Convolution Neural Network (CNN)-based prediction model and an automated optimization strategy.
The purpose of the study was to compare a 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) with the conventional machine learning method for predicting intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) dose distribution using only contours in prostate cancer. In thi...
