Radiographic imaging and tomography (RadIT), which started with Röntgen's seminal X-ray work in 1895, now includes an increasing number of IT modalities. In addition to the original …
Simple Summary The increasing global demand and accessibility for proton beam therapy has been fueled by its recognised clinical benefits over traditional radiotherapy, primarily its …
Purpose To retrospectively investigate empirical relative biological effectiveness (RBE) for mandible osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in head and neck (H&N) cancer patients treated with …
Background Accurate and efficient dose calculation is essential for on‐line adaptive planning in proton therapy. Deep learning (DL) has shown promising dose prediction results …
