PURPOSE: Optimal head-and-neck cancer (HNC) treatment planning requires accurate and feasible planning goals to meet dosimetric constraints and generate robust online adaptive treatment plans. A new x-ray-based adaptive radiotherapy (ART) treatment p...
BACKGROUND: Effective breast cancer treatment planning requires balancing tumor control while minimizing radiation exposure to healthy tissues. Choosing between intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and three-dimensional conformal radiation th...
BACKGROUND: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a crucial daily imaging modality in image-guided and adaptive radiotherapy. However, the use of ionizing radiation in CBCT imaging increases the risk of secondary cancers, which is particularly conc...
