AIMS: To assess geometric accuracy and dosimetric impact of a deep learning segmentation (DLS) model on a large, diverse dataset of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients treated with intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT).
BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy requires precise, patient-specific treatment planning to achieve high-quality dose distributions that improve patient outcomes. Traditional manual planning is time-consuming and clinically impractical for performing necessary...

OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a HyperArc-based RapidPlan (HARP) model for three-fraction brain stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) plans to then use to replan previously treated five-fraction SRT plans. Demonstrating the possibility of reducing the ...
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown deep learning techniques are able to predict three-dimensional (3D) dose distributions of radiotherapy treatment plans. However, their use in dose prediction for treatments with varied prescription doses includin...
. Deep learning (DL)-based automated contouring and treatment planning has been proven to improve the efficiency and accuracy of radiotherapy. However, conventional radiotherapy treatment planning process has the automated contouring and treatment pl...

PURPOSE: Deep learning-based segmentation of organs-at-risk (OAR) is emerging to become mainstream in clinical practice because of the superior performance over atlas and model-based autocontouring methods. While several commercial deep learning-base...
PURPOSE: To develop a fully AI-based dose estimation model capable of learning and estimating single pencil beam dose distributions, and to verify its performance by testing the model's generalizability on unseen, previously delivered treatment plans...
One bottleneck of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided online adaptive radiotherapy is the time-consuming daily online replanning process. The current leaf sequencing method takes up to 10 min, with potential dosimetric degradation and small segme...
