To facilitate implementation of plan-of-the-day (POTD) selection for treating locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), we developed a POTD assessment tool for CBCT-guided radiotherapy (RT). A female pelvis segmentation model (U-Seg3) is combined with...

PURPOSE: Stereotactic magnetic resonance guided adaptive radiation therapy (SMART) is a new option for local treatment of unresectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, showing interesting survival and local control (LC) results. Despite this, some p...
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia is associated with decreased survival in cervical cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was widely used in image-guided radiotherapy. Sarcopenia is assessed by the skeletal muscle index...
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become an essential tool in head and neck cancer (HNC) radiotherapy (RT) treatment delivery. Automatic segmentation of the organs at risk (OARs) on CBCT can trigger and accelerate treatment replanning but is s...

PURPOSE: To segment the lung tumor on kilo-voltage X-ray radiographic images acquired during treatment toward the markerless lung tumor tracking.
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...
