PURPOSE: Deep learning-based segmentation of organs-at-risk (OAR) is emerging to become mainstream in clinical practice because of the superior performance over atlas and model-based autocontouring methods. While several commercial deep learning-base...
PURPOSE: To develop a fully AI-based dose estimation model capable of learning and estimating single pencil beam dose distributions, and to verify its performance by testing the model's generalizability on unseen, previously delivered treatment plans...
One bottleneck of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided online adaptive radiotherapy is the time-consuming daily online replanning process. The current leaf sequencing method takes up to 10 min, with potential dosimetric degradation and small segme...
BACKGROUND: Quality control (QC) in radiotherapy planning is crucial for ensuring treatment efficacy and patient safety. Traditionally, QC relies on standard indicators and subjective assessments, which may lead to inconsistencies.
AIM: This review aims to evaluate the role of interventional radiotherapy (IRT - brachytherapy) in the clinical management of head and neck (H&N) cancers, focusing on recent technological advancements and their impact on clinical outcomes.
BACKGROUND: Given the recent increased emphasis on multimodal neural networks to solve complex modeling tasks, the problem of outcome prediction for a course of treatment can be framed as fundamentally multimodal in nature. A patient's response to tr...
