A probabilistic deep learning model of inter-fraction anatomical variations in radiotherapy

Objective. In radiotherapy, the internal movement of organs between treatment sessions causes errors in the final radiation dose delivery. To assess the need for adaptation, motion models can be used to simulate dominant motion patterns and assess anatomical robustness before delivery. Traditionally, such models are based on principal...

Sub-second photon dose prediction via transformer neural networks

Background: Fast dose calculation is critical for online and real-time adaptive therapy workflows. While modern physics-based dose algorithms must compromise accuracy to achieve low computation times, deep learning models can potentially perform dose prediction tasks with both high fidelity and speed. Purpose: We present a deep learning...

Millisecond speed deep learning based proton dose calculation with Monte Carlo accuracy

Objective. Next generation online and real-time adaptive radiotherapy workflows require precise particle transport simulations in sub-second times, which is unfeasible with current analytical pencil beam algorithms (PBA) or Monte Carlo (MC) methods. We present a deep learning based millisecond speed dose calculation algorithm (DoTA)...
