Radiation therapy (RT) is a highly digitized field relying heavily on computational methods and, as such, has a high affinity for the automation potential afforded by modern artificial intelligence (AI). This is particularly relevant where imaging is...
BACKGROUND: Daily adaptive radiotherapy, as performed with the Elekta Unity MR-Linac, requires choosing between different adaptation methods, namely ATP (Adapt to Position) and ATS (Adapt to Shape), where the latter requires daily re-contouring to ob...

Synthetic computed tomography (sCT) generated from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can serve as a substitute for planning CT in radiation therapy (RT), thereby removing registration uncertainties associated with multi-modality imaging pairing, reduc...
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-based online adaptation is increasingly being introduced into many clinics. Upon implementation of a new treatment technique, a prospective risk analysis is required and enhances workflow safety. We conducted a ri...

PURPOSE: Cardiac substructure dose metrics are more strongly linked to late cardiac morbidities than to whole-heart metrics. Magnetic resonance (MR)-guided radiation therapy (MRgRT) enables substructure visualization during daily localization, allowi...

PURPOSE: Deep learning can automate delineation in radiation therapy, reducing time and variability. Yet, its efficacy varies across different institutions, scanners, or settings, emphasizing the need for adaptable and robust models in clinical envir...
BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard for delineating cancerous lesions in soft tissue. Catheter-based interventions require the accurate placement of multiple long, flexible catheters at the target site. The manual segmen...
Measurement-based verification is impossible for the patient-specific quality assurance (QA) of online adaptive magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy (oMRgRT) because the patient remains on the couch throughout the session. We assessed a dee...
BACKGROUND: In radiotherapy, real-time tumor tracking can verify tumor position during beam delivery, guide the radiation beam to target the tumor, and reduce the chance of a geometric miss. Markerless kV x-ray image-based tumor tracking is challengi...
