Enhancing synthetic pelvic CT generation from CBCT using vision transformer with adaptive fourier neural operators.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
This study introduces a novel approach to improve Cone Beam CT (CBCT) image quality by developing a synthetic CT (sCT) generation method using CycleGAN with a Vision Transformer (ViT) and an Adaptive Fourier Neural Operator (AFNO).A dataset of 20 pro...

Early prediction of proton therapy dose distributions and DVHs for hepatocellular carcinoma using contour-based CNN models from diagnostic CT and MRI.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Proton therapy is commonly used for treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, its feasibility can be challenging to assess in large tumors or those adjacent to critical organs at risk (OARs), which are typically assessed only afte...

The dosimetric impacts of ct-based deep learning autocontouring algorithm for prostate cancer radiotherapy planning dosimetric accuracy of DirectORGANS.

BMC urology
PURPOSE: In study, we aimed to dosimetrically evaluate the usability of a new generation autocontouring algorithm (DirectORGANS) that automatically identifies organs and contours them directly in the computed tomography (CT) simulator before creating...

Last vertex splitting: a new retroactive Monte Carlo splitting technique applied to LINAC out-of-field dose computation.

Physics in medicine and biology
We propose a new variance reduction technique called last vertex splitting (LVS) designed to reduce computation time in Monte Carlo (MC) simulations for particles traversing high-attenuating media, such as the collimator and other beam-limiting devic...

Automated radiotherapy treatment planning guided by GPT-4Vision.

Physics in medicine and biology
. Radiotherapy treatment planning is a time-consuming and potentially subjective process that requires iterative adjustment of model parameters to balance multiple conflicting objectives. Recent advancements in frontier artificial intelligence (AI) m...

Recent advances in applying machine learning to proton radiotherapy.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
.: In radiation oncology, precision and timeliness of both planning and treatment are paramount values of patient care. Machine learning has increasingly been applied to various aspects of photon radiotherapy to reduce manual error and improve the ef...

Statistical toolkit for analysis of radiotherapy DICOM data.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
Radiotherapy (RT) has become increasingly sophisticated, necessitating advanced tools for analyzing extensive treatment data in hospital databases. Such analyses can enhance future treatments, particularly through Knowledge-Based Planning, and aid in...

Deep-learning-based linac beam modelling with sparse beam data measurements.

Physics in medicine and biology
This paper introduces linac beam modelling network (LBMnet), a deep-learning-based approach for efficient linac beam modelling, generating percentage depth dose (PDD) and beam profiles by predicting beam data from sparse single-field measurements, th...

Deep learning-based delineation of whole-body organs at risk empowering adaptive radiotherapy.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Accurate delineation of organs at risk (OARs) is crucial for precision radiotherapy. Most previous autosegmentation models were only constructed for single anatomical region without evaluation of dosimetric impact. We aimed to validate th...

Prior knowledge of anatomical relationships supports automatic delineation of clinical target volume for cervical cancer.

Scientific reports
Deep learning has been used for automatic planning of radiotherapy targets, such as inferring the clinical target volume (CTV) for a given new patient. However, previous deep learning methods mainly focus on predicting CTV from CT images without cons...
