PURPOSE: Anatomical variations occur during head and neck (H&N) radiotherapy treatment. kV cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images can be used for daily dose monitoring to assess dose variations owing to anatomic changes. Deep learning methods (D...
BACKGROUND: To investigate the feasibility of a knowledge-based automated intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) planning technique for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) radiotherapy.
PURPOSE: Many researchers have developed deep learning models for predicting clinical dose distributions and Pareto optimal dose distributions. Models for predicting Pareto optimal dose distributions have generated optimal plans in real time using an...
BACKGROUND: Automatic tumor segmentation based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) has shown to be a valuable tool in treatment planning and clinical decision making. We investigate the influence of 7 MRI input channels of a CNN with respect to t...
Radiotherapy (RT) is one of the basic treatment modalities for cancer of the head and neck (H&N), which requires a precise spatial description of the target volumes and organs at risk (OARs) to deliver a highly conformal radiation dose to the tumor c...
PURPOSE: To develop a deep learning-based model for prostate planning target volume (PTV) localization on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to improve the workflow of CBCT-guided patient setup.
PURPOSE: In intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT), protons are used to deliver highly conformal dose distributions, targeting tumors, and sparing organs-at-risk. However, due to uncertainties in both patient setup and relative stopping power (RSP...
Radiation therapy is a pivotal cancer treatment that has significantly progressed over the last decade due to numerous technological breakthroughs. Imaging is now playing a critical role on deployment of the clinical workflow, both for treatment plan...

Over the past years, the quantity and complexity of imaging data available for the clinical management of patients with solid tumors has increased substantially. Without the support of methods from the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and machin...
PURPOSE: Robotic radiosurgery offers the flexibility of a robotic arm to enable high conformity to the target and a steep dose gradient. However, treatment planning becomes a computationally challenging task as the search space for potential beam dir...
