A deep learning-informed interpretation of why and when dose metrics outside the PTV can affect the risk of distant metastasis in SBRT NSCLC patients.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
PURPOSE: Recent papers suggested a correlation between the risk of distant metastasis (DM) and dose outside the PTV, though conclusions in different publications conflicted. This study resolves these conflicts and provides a compelling explanation of...

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in improvement of IMRT and VMAT radiotherapy treatment planning processes: A systematic review.

Radiography (London, England : 1995)
INTRODUCTION: Radiotherapy is a common option in the treatment of many types of cancer. Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Volumetric-Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) are the latest radiotherapy techniques. However, clinicians face problems...

Deep learning-based statistical robustness evaluation of intensity-modulated proton therapy for head and neck cancer.

Physics in medicine and biology
. Previous methods for robustness evaluation rely on dose calculation for a number of uncertainty scenarios, which either fails to provide statistical meaning when the number is too small (e.g., ∼8) or becomes unfeasible in daily clinical practice wh...

Deep learning-based prediction of the dose-volume histograms for volumetric modulated arc therapy of left-sided breast cancer.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: The advancements in artificial intelligence and computational power have made deep learning an attractive tool for radiotherapy treatment planning. Deep learning has the potential to significantly simplify the trial-and-error process invo...

Nested CNN architecture for three-dimensional dose distribution prediction in tomotherapy for prostate cancer.

Strahlentherapie und Onkologie : Organ der Deutschen Rontgengesellschaft ... [et al]
BACKGROUND: The hypothesis of changing network layers to increase the accuracy of dose distribution prediction, instead of expanding their dimensions, which requires complex calculations, has been considered in our study.

Evaluation of deep learning based dose prediction in head and neck cancer patients using two different types of input contours.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: This study evaluates deep learning (DL) based dose prediction methods in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients using two types of input contours.

Automated confidence estimation in deep learning auto-segmentation for brain organs at risk on MRI for radiotherapy.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: We have built a novel AI-driven QA method called AutoConfidence (ACo), to estimate segmentation confidence on a per-voxel basis without gold standard segmentations, enabling robust, efficient review of automated segmentation (AS). We have de...

Clinical implementation of deep learning robust IMPT planning in oropharyngeal cancer patients: A blinded clinical study.

Radiotherapy and oncology : journal of the European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the plan quality of our deep learning-based automated treatment planning method for robustly optimized intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) plans in patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPC)...

Artificial intelligence-based motion tracking in cancer radiotherapy: A review.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
Radiotherapy aims to deliver a prescribed dose to the tumor while sparing neighboring organs at risk (OARs). Increasingly complex treatment techniques such as volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), stereotactic body...
