Assessing population-based to personalized planning strategies for head and neck adaptive radiotherapy.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
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...

Breast radiotherapy planning: A decision-making framework using deep learning.

Medical physics
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...

Deep learning based super-resolution for CBCT dose reduction in radiotherapy.

Medical physics
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...

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the automated RapidPlan in assessing plan quality and to explore how beam complexity affects the mechanical performance of volumetric modulated arc therapy for head and neck cancers.

Evaluation and comparison of synthetic computed tomography algorithms with 3T MRI for prostate radiotherapy: AI-based versus bulk density method.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Synthetic computed tomography (sCT)-algorithms, which generate computed tomography images from magnetic resonance imaging data, are becoming part of the clinical radiotherapy workflow. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate and ...

Assessment of clinical feasibility:offline adaptive radiotherapy for lung cancer utilizing kV iCBCT and UNet++ based deep learning model.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer poses a significant global health challenge. Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) addresses uncertainties due to lung tumor dynamics. We aimed to investigate a comprehensively and systematically validated offline ART regimen with high ...

Brain MR-only workflow in clinical practice: A comparison among generators for quality assurance and patient positioning.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Routine quality control procedures are still required for sCT based on artificial intelligence (AI) to verify the performance of the generators. The aim of this study was to evaluate three generators based on AI or bulk densit...

Dose prediction of CyberKnife Monte Carlo plan for lung cancer patients based on deep learning: robust learning of variable beam configurations.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Accurate calculation of lung cancer dose using the Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm in CyberKnife (CK) is essential for precise planning. We aim to employ deep learning to directly predict the 3D dose distribution calculated by the MC algorithm...
