BACKGROUND: The tangential field-in-field (FIF) technique is a widely used method in breast radiation therapy, known for its efficiency and the reduced number of fields required in treatment planning. However, it is labor-intensive, requiring manual ...
This study is aimed to clarify the effectiveness of the image-rotation technique and zooming augmentation to improve the accuracy of the deep learning (DL)-based dose conversion from pencil beam (PB) to Monte Carlo (MC) in proton beam therapy (PBT). ...
This study investigates key factors influencing deep learning-based dose prediction models for head and neck cancer radiation therapy. The goal is to evaluate model accuracy, robustness, and computational efficiency, and to identify key components ne...
PURPOSE: Accurate pre-treatment dose prediction is essential for efficient radiotherapy planning. Although deep learning models have advanced automated dose distribution, comprehensive multi-tumor analyses remain scarce. This study assesses deep lear...
BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy treatment planning traditionally involves complex and time-consuming processes, often relying on trial-and-error methods. The emergence of artificial intelligence, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), surpassing human c...
To better integrate into processes like rapid adaptive planning and quality assurance, this study aims to propose a lightweight and universal proton spot dose calculation model suitable for arbitrary energies.Given the alignment between the character...
BACKGROUND: Gynecological cancers are among the most prevalent cancers in women worldwide. Brachytherapy, often used as a boost to external beam radiotherapy, is integral to treatment. Advances in computation, algorithms, and data availability have p...
OBJECTIVE: Rectal toxicity is one of the primary dose-limiting side effects of prostate cancer radiotherapy, and consequential impairment on quality of life in these patients with long survival is an important problem. In this study, we aimed to eval...
