Automation of radiation treatment planning for rectal cancer. [PDF]

J Appl Clin Med Phys, 2022
AbstractPurposeTo develop an automated workflow for rectal cancer three‐dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) treatment planning that combines deep learning (DL) aperture predictions and forward‐planning algorithms.MethodsWe designed an algorithm to automate the clinical workflow for 3DCRT planning with field aperture creations and field‐in‐field (

Radiation treatment planning with embedded dose escalation [PDF]

Radiation Oncology, 2019
Background Heterogeneous target doses are a common by-product from attempts to improve normal tissue sparing in radiosurgery treatment planning. These regions of escalated dose within the target may increase tumor control probability (TCP).
