Pediatric craniospinal irradiation (CSI) autosegmentation is challenging due to small, age-variable anatomy. Performance of a pediatric-trained in-house pipeline was compared with atlas-based and commercial AI methods for pediatric CSI organs at risk (OARs) u...
Current proton beam-angle optimization methods are constrained by limited angular candidate sets and the high computational cost of Monte Carlo (MC)-based dose evaluation, hindering practical implementation of full-sphere (4π) optimization. We propose a 4π be...

Automated segmentation is increasingly integrated into radiotherapy planning workflows; however, ensuring reliable quality assurance (QA) remains challenging, particularly in pediatric patients due to substantial anatomical variability. In this study, we leve...
