PURPOSE: To assess the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-only treatment planning for photon and proton radiotherapy in children with abdominal tumours.
We developed a generative adversarial network (GAN)-based deep learning approach to estimate the multileaf collimator (MLC) aperture and corresponding monitor units (MUs) from a given 3D dose distribution. The proposed design of the adversarial netwo...

Manual segmentation is the gold standard method for radiation therapy planning; however, it is time-consuming and prone to inter- and intra-observer variation, giving rise to interests in auto-segmentation methods. We evaluated the feasibility of dee...

PURPOSE: The purpose of the reported study was to investigate the value of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-based radiomics for risk stratification and prediction of biochemical relapse in prostate cancer.
Radiotherapy treatment planning requires accurate modeling of the delivered patient dose, including radiation scatter effects, multi-leaf collimator (MLC) leaf transmission, interleaf-leakage, etc. In fluence map optimization (FMO), a simple dose mod...
Radiation oncology for prostate cancer is important as it can decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with this disease. Planning for this modality of treatment is both fundamental, time-consuming and prone to human-errors, leading to potenti...
