Quality and mechanical efficiency of automated knowledge-based planning for volumetric-modulated arc therapy in head and neck cancer.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the automated RapidPlan in assessing plan quality and to explore how beam complexity affects the mechanical performance of volumetric modulated arc therapy for head and neck cancers.

Evaluation and comparison of synthetic computed tomography algorithms with 3T MRI for prostate radiotherapy: AI-based versus bulk density method.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
PURPOSE: Synthetic computed tomography (sCT)-algorithms, which generate computed tomography images from magnetic resonance imaging data, are becoming part of the clinical radiotherapy workflow. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate and ...

Assessment of clinical feasibility:offline adaptive radiotherapy for lung cancer utilizing kV iCBCT and UNet++ based deep learning model.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND: Lung cancer poses a significant global health challenge. Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) addresses uncertainties due to lung tumor dynamics. We aimed to investigate a comprehensively and systematically validated offline ART regimen with high ...

Rapid in vivo EPID image prediction using a combination of analytically calculated attenuation and AI predicted scatter.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: The electronic portal imaging device (EPID) can be used in vivo, to detect on-treatment errors by evaluating radiation exiting a patient. To detect deviations from the planning intent, image predictions need to be modeled based on the pat...

Brain MR-only workflow in clinical practice: A comparison among generators for quality assurance and patient positioning.

Journal of applied clinical medical physics
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Routine quality control procedures are still required for sCT based on artificial intelligence (AI) to verify the performance of the generators. The aim of this study was to evaluate three generators based on AI or bulk densit...

Dose prediction of CyberKnife Monte Carlo plan for lung cancer patients based on deep learning: robust learning of variable beam configurations.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Accurate calculation of lung cancer dose using the Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm in CyberKnife (CK) is essential for precise planning. We aim to employ deep learning to directly predict the 3D dose distribution calculated by the MC algorithm...

Automated robotic-assisted patient positioning method and dosimetric impact analysis for boron neutron capture therapy.

Scientific reports
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) represents a revolutionary approach in targeted radiation treatment for cancer. While the therapy's potential in precise targeting is well-recognized, a critical bottleneck remains in the accurate positioning of p...

Artificial intelligence contouring in radiotherapy for organs-at-risk and lymph node areas.

Radiation oncology (London, England)
INTRODUCTION: The delineation of organs-at-risk and lymph node areas is a crucial step in radiotherapy, but it is time-consuming and associated with substantial user-dependent variability in contouring. Artificial intelligence (AI) appears to be the ...
