BACKGROUND: Adjuvant radiotherapy is essential for reducing local recurrence and improving survival in breast cancer patients, but it carries a risk of ischemic cardiac toxicity, which increases with heart exposure. The isocentric lateral decubitus p...
BACKGROUND: Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) can compensate for the dosimetric impact of anatomic change during radiotherapy of head-neck cancer (HNC) patients. However, implementing ART universally poses challenges in clinical workflow and resource alloc...
BACKGROUND: Proton pencil beam scanning (PBS) treatment planning for head and neck (H&N) cancers is a time-consuming and experience-demanding task where a large number of potentially conflicting planning objectives are involved. Deep reinforcement le...
INTRODUCTION: Modern radiotherapy practice relies on multiple approaches for verification of patient positioning. All of these techniques require experienced radiotherapists who understand the anatomical landmarks and the limitations of the used veri...
BACKGROUND: Online adaptive radiotherapy (OART) and rapid quality assurance (QA) are essential for effective heavy ion therapy (HIT). However, there is a shortage of deep learning (DL) models and workflows for predicting Monte Carlo (MC) doses in suc...

PURPOSE: This study evaluates the feasibility of using robotic-assisted bronchoscopy with cone beam computed tomography (RB-CBCT) platform to perform low-dose-rate brachytherapy (LDR-BT) implants in a mechanically ventilated human cadaveric model. Po...
BACKGROUND: The electronic compensation (ECOMP) technique for breast radiation therapy provides excellent dose conformity and homogeneity. However, the manual fluence painting process presents a challenge for efficient clinical operation.
