PURPOSE: Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) quality assurance (QA) measurements are routinely performed prior to treatment delivery to verify dose calculation and delivery accuracy. In this work, we applied a machine learning-based approach...
PURPOSE: The superior soft-tissue contrast achieved using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to x-ray computed tomography (CT) has led to the popularization of MRI-guided radiation therapy (MR-IGRT), especially in recent years with the advent ...

PURPOSE: To assess the accuracy of machine learning to predict and classify quality assurance (QA) results for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans.
PURPOSE: Non-coplanar 4π radiotherapy generalizes intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to automate beam geometry selection but requires complicated hyperparameter tuning to attain superior plan quality, which can be tedious and inconsistent. ...
This study aims to utilize a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for synthesized CT image generation based on cone-beam CT (CBCT) and to apply the images to dose calculations for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). An encoder-decoder 2D U-Net neural...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been widely used in combination with computed tomography (CT) radiation therapy because MRI improves the accuracy and reliability of target delineation due to its superior soft tissue contrast over CT. The MRI-onl...
PURPOSE: To develop and validate a robust and accurate registration pipeline for automatic contour propagation for online adaptive Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT) of prostate cancer using elastix software and deep learning.

PURPOSE: Glioblastoma is routinely treated by concomitant radiochemotherapy. Current target definition guidelines use anatomic MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans, taking into account contrast enhancement and the rather unspecific hyperintensity o...
PURPOSE: The dosimetric accuracies of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans were predicted using plan complexity parameters via machine learning.
PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate a patch-based convolutional neural network (CNN) to generate synthetic computed tomography (sCT) images for magnetic resonance (MR)-only workflow for radiotherapy of head and neck tumors. A patch-based deep learning m...
