OBJECTIVE: This study aims to examine the ability of deep learning (DL)-derived imaging features for the prediction of radiation pneumonitis (RP) in locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) patients.
BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy (RT) is an important treatment modality for patients with brain malignancies. Traditionally, computed tomography (CT) images are used for RT treatment planning whereas magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images are used for tumo...

PURPOSE: The capacity for machine learning (ML) to facilitate radiation therapy (RT) planning for primary brain tumors has not been described. We evaluated ML-assisted RT planning with regard to clinical acceptability, dosimetric outcomes, and planni...
BACKGROUND: Deep learning-based unsupervised image registration has recently been proposed, promising fast registration. However, it has yet to be adopted in the online adaptive magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) workflow.

PURPOSE: Radiation therapy (RT) of pediatric brain cancer is known to be associated with long-term neurocognitive deficits. Although target and organs-at-risk (OARs) are contoured as part of treatment planning, other structures linked to cognitive fu...
BACKGROUND:: Efficient and accurate delineation of organs at risk (OARs) is a critical procedure for treatment planning and dose evaluation. Deep learning-based auto-segmentation of OARs has shown promising results and is increasingly being used in r...
