Commissioning and clinical outcome assessment of a novel surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT) system at a C-Arm linear accelerator
Hui Khee Looe, Niklas Felix Hendrik Bartner, Björn Poppe +2
Surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT) is now widely used for radiation-dose-free, marker-free patient positioning in modern radiotherapy. We commissioned and clinically implement…
Cluster Dose Prediction in Carbon Ion Therapy: Using Transfer Learning from a Pretrained Dose Prediction U-Net
Miriam Schwarze, Hui Khee Looe, Björn Poppe +2
The cluster dose concept offers an alternative to the radiobiological effectiveness (RBE)-based model for describing radiation-induced biological effects. This study examines the a…
Cross-Section-Based Scaling Method for Material-Specific Cluster Dose Calculations -- A Proof of Concept
Miriam Schwarze, Hui Khee Looe, Björn Poppe +2
Cross-section data unavailability for non-water materials in track structure simulation software necessitates nanodosimetric quantity transformation from water to other materials.…
Exploring Machine Learning Models for Physical Dose Calculation in Carbon Ion Therapy Using Heterogeneous Imaging Data -- A Proof of Concept Study
Miriam Schwarze, Hui Khee Looe, Björn Poppe +3
Background: Accurate and fast dose calculation is essential for optimizing carbon ion therapy. Existing machine learning (ML) models have been developed for other radiotherapy moda…
