PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to determine the best dose processing method for deep learning-based dose prediction in brachytherapy (BT), as well as to investigate the feasibility of using the inverse dose optimization algorithm to improve tr...
In this study, we address the inherent challenges in radiotherapy (RT) plan quality assessment (QA). RT, a prevalent cancer treatment, utilizes high-energy beams to target tumors while sparing adjacent healthy tissues. Typically, an RT plan is refine...

This study aims to investigate the feasibility of a single general model to synthesize CT images across body sites, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, to support treatment planning for MRI-only radiotherapy. A total of 157 patients who received MRI-guided ...
This study aimed to develop a deep learning (DL)-based deliverable whole pelvic volumetric arc radiation therapy (VMAT) for patients with gynecologic cancer using a prototype DL-based automated planning support system, named RatoGuide, to evaluate it...

Prostate Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR) is an ultra-hypofractionated treatment where small setup errors can lead to higher doses to organs at risk (OARs). Although bowel and bladder preparation protocols reduce inter-fraction variabil...
Head-and-neck simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) treatment planning using intensity modulated radiation therapy is particularly challenging due to the proximity to organs-at-risk. Depending on the specific clinical conditions, different parotid-spar...
. Traditional machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) applications in treatment planning rely on complex model architectures and large, high-quality training datasets. However, they cannot fully replace the conventional optimization process. Thi...
