BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The volunteer deep inspiration breath hold (vDIBH) technique is used to reduce the heart dose in left breast cancer radiotherapy. Many times, it is faced that despite rigorous exercise and training, not all patients get bene...
BACKGROUND: The advancements in artificial intelligence and computational power have made deep learning an attractive tool for radiotherapy treatment planning. Deep learning has the potential to significantly simplify the trial-and-error process invo...
Deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) is widely used to reduce the cardiac dose in left-sided breast cancer radiotherapy. This study aimed to develop a deep learning chest X-ray model for cardiac dose prediction to select patients with a potentially hi...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) shows great potential to streamline the treatment planning process. However, its clinical adoption is slow due to the limited number of clinical evaluation studies and because often, the translation of the pre...
