AI in Proton Therapy Treatment Planning: A Review
Yuzhen Ding, Hongying Feng, Martin Bues +12
Purpose: Proton therapy provides superior dose conformity compared to photon therapy, but its treatment planning is challenged by sensitivity to anatomical changes, setup/range unc…
Diffusion Transformer-based Universal Dose Denoising for Pencil Beam Scanning Proton Therapy
Yuzhen Ding, Jason Holmes, Hongying Feng +13
Purpose: Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) offers precise tumor coverage while sparing organs at risk (OARs) in head and neck (H&N) cancer. However, its sensitivity to anat…
Fine-Tuning Open-Source Large Language Models to Improve Their Performance on Radiation Oncology Tasks: A Feasibility Study to Investigate Their Potential Clinical Applications in Radiation Oncology
Peilong Wang, Zhengliang Liu, Yiwei Li +12
Background: The radiation oncology clinical practice involves many steps relying on the dynamic interplay of abundant text data. Large language models have displayed remarkable cap…
Evaluating The Performance of Using Large Language Models to Automate Summarization of CT Simulation Orders in Radiation Oncology
Meiyun Cao, Shaw Hu, Jason Sharp +10
Purpose: This study aims to use a large language model (LLM) to automate the generation of summaries from the CT simulation orders and evaluate its performance. Materials and Metho…
Robust Optimization for Spot Scanning Proton Therapy based on Dose-Linear Energy Transfer (LET) Volume Constraints
Jingyuan Chen, Yunze Yang, Hongying Feng +8
Purpose: Historically, spot scanning proton therapy (SSPT) treatment planning utilizes dose volume constraints and linear-energy-transfer (LET) volume constraints separately to bal…
Noisy probing dose facilitated dose prediction for pencil beam scanning proton therapy: physics enhances generalizability
Lian Zhang, Jason M. Holmes, Zhengliang Liu +11
Purpose: Prior AI-based dose prediction studies in photon and proton therapy often neglect underlying physics, limiting their generalizability to handle outlier clinical cases, esp…
