Objective. Deep-learning (DL)-based dose engines have been developed to alleviate the intrinsic compromise between the calculation accuracy and efficiency of the traditional dose calculation algorithms. However, current DL-based engines typically pos

Most commercially available treatment planning systems (TPSs) approximate the continuous delivery of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans with a series of discretized static beams for treatment planning, which can make VMAT dose computation

Purpose Despite being the standard metric in patient-specific quality assurance (QA) for intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), gamma analysis has two shortcomings: (a) it lacks sensitivity to small but clinically relevant errors (b) it does not pr

Purpose Directly extracting the respiratory phase pattern of the tumor using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) projections is challenging due to the poor tumor visibility caused by the obstruction of multiple anatomic structures on the beam's eye

Purpose The authors have previously shown the feasibility of using an artificial neural network (ANN) to eliminate the volume average effect (VAE) of scanning ionization chambers (ICs). The purpose of this work was to evaluate the method when applied

Flattening filter free (FFF) linear accelerators produce a fluence distribution that is forward peaked. Various dosimetric benefits, such as increased dose rate, reduced leakage and out of field dose has led to the growth of FFF technology in the cli

The continuous delivery of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans is usually approximated by discrete apertures at evenly-spaced gantry angles for dose calculation purposes. This approximation can potentially lead to large dose calculation err

Purpose The use of the ionization chamber array ICProfiler (ICP) is limited by its relatively poor detector spatial resolution and the inherent volume averaging effect (VAE). The purpose of this work is to study the feasibility of reconstructing VAE

Purpose Traditionally, the treatment couch coordinates (TCCs) for patients undergoing radiotherapy can only be determined at the time of treatment, placing pressure on the treating therapists and leaving several pathways for errors such as wrong‐si
