PURPOSE: This study evaluates the feasibility of using robotic-assisted bronchoscopy with cone beam computed tomography (RB-CBCT) platform to perform low-dose-rate brachytherapy (LDR-BT) implants in a mechanically ventilated human cadaveric model. Po...
BACKGROUND: The electronic compensation (ECOMP) technique for breast radiation therapy provides excellent dose conformity and homogeneity. However, the manual fluence painting process presents a challenge for efficient clinical operation.
PURPOSE: Conventional radiotherapy (CRT) has limited local control and poses a high risk of severe toxicity in large lung tumors. This study aimed to develop an integrated treatment plan that combines CRT with lattice boost radiotherapy (LRT) and mon...

PURPOSE: To investigate the performance of a machine learning-based segmentation method for treatment planning of gastric cancer.
. The primary purpose of this work is to demonstrate the feasibility of a deep convolutional neural network (dCNN) based algorithm that uses two-dimensional (2D) electronic portal imaging device (EPID) images and CT images as input to reconstruct 3D ...
BACKGROUND: Modern radiation therapy techniques, such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT), use complex fluence modulation strategies to achieve optimal patient dose distribution. Ensuring their ...
To develop a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) agent to self-interact with the treatment planning system to automatically generate intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment plans for head-and-neck (HN) cancer with consistent organ-at-ris...
