Deep learning (DL) is widely used in dose prediction for radiation oncology, multiple DL techniques comparison is often lacking in the literature. To compare the performance of 4 state-of-the-art DL models in predicting the voxel-level dose distribu...
This study aims to evaluate the dosimetric accuracy of a deep learning (DL)-based deliverable volumetric arc radiation therapy (VMAT) plan generated using DL-based automated planning assistant system (AIVOT, prototype version) for patients with prost...
To detect errors in patient-specific quality assurance (QA) for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), we proposed an error detection method based on dose distribution analysis using unsupervised deep learning approach and analyzed 161 prostate VMA...
BACKGROUND: Brain metastases are the most common intracranial tumors in adults and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) is used frequently in patients for palliation, but can result in neurocognitiv...
