Abstract:Objective: Radiation therapy is one of the primary methods used to treat cancer in the clinic. Its goal is to deliver a precise dose to the planning target volume (PTV) while protecting the surrounding organs at risk (OARs). However, the traditional workflow used by dosimetrists to plan the treatment is time-consuming and subjective, requiring iterative adjustments based on their experience. Deep learning methods can be used to predict dose distribution maps to address these limitations.
