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…
An Automated Retrieval-Augmented Generation LLaMA-4 109B-based System for Evaluating Radiotherapy Treatment Plans
Junjie Cui, Peilong Wang, Jason Holmes +15
Purpose: To develop a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system powered by LLaMA-4 109B for automated, protocol-aware, and interpretable evaluation of radiotherapy treatment plan…
Causal Machine Learning Analysis of Empirical Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) for Mandible Osteoradionecrosis in Head and Neck Cancer Radiotherapy
Jingyuan Chen, Zhong Liu, Yunze Yang +8
Mandible Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is one of the most severe adverse events (AEs) for head and neck (H&N) cancer radiotherapy. Previous retrospective investigations on real-world da…
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…
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…
