PURPOSE: To develop a deep learning model capable of producing clinically acceptable dose distributions for left-sided breast cancers for 3D-CRT while exploring the use of two-dimensional versus three-dimensional anatomical data.
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...
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: 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...

OBJECTIVE: Multi-day assessments accurately identify patients with left-sided breast cancer who are ineligible for irradiation in Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) and minimise on-couch treatment time in those who are eligible. The challenge of imp...
. This study presents machine learning (ML) models that predict if deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) is needed based on lung dose in right-sided breast cancer patients during the initial computed tomography (CT) appointment.. Anatomic distances wer...
