Abstract

Manual organ‐at‐risk (OAR) delineation takes 20–40 min per case, a major bottleneck within the 50–90 min treatment window of abdominal MR‐guided adaptive radiotherapy (MRgRT). Most deep learning systems adopt single‐fraction approaches that discard valuable temporal context from prior treatment fractions.

Multi‐modal direct LINAC parameter prediction for pancreatic VMAT: An optimization‐free approach

Pancreatic cancer Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) planning presents a significant dosimetric challenge due to the high‐dose gradients required to spare adjacent, radiosensitive organs at risk (OARs) like the stomach and duodenum. This anatomical complexity has limited the scope of automated planning for this si...

Improving deep‐learning IMRT plan quality for lymphoma using deliverability‐aware training

Abstract Background Deep learning (DL) methods have shown strong performance in predicting dose distributions from patient anatomy and target structures; however, accurate dose prediction does not guarantee a deliverable plan after conversion into machine parameters and dose recalculation in the treatment planning syst...

Context‐informed personalized segmentation from radiology reports: A fully automated framework for long‐term liver tumor follow‐up

Personalized segmentation has been shown to improve performance over generalized models in follow‐up imaging; however, its robustness across large temporal gaps remains unclear. We propose a fully automated, context‐informed personalization framework that integrates radiology report‐derived clinical context with imagin...
