Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for spinal metastases requires accurate delineation of the spinal cord and thecal sac to maximize treatment efficacy while minimizing toxicity. Deep learning-based segmentation models improve contouring efficiency and red...
Deep-inspiration breath-hold radiotherapy (DIBH) is widely used in left-sided breast cancer radiotherapy to reduce heart dose, but the dosimetric benefit varies among patients. Assessing DIBH eligibility typically requires additional CT simulation and treatme...
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for non-spinal bone metastases generally achieves high local control; however, approximately 10% of patients experience local failure (LF). Conventional clinical and dose metrics often fail to capture patterns associated...
