Clinical Implementation of Direct-to-Unit Ultra-Hypofractionated Whole-Breast Irradiation Using AI-Enabled Adaptive Radiation Therapy
Direct-to-unit (DTU) radiotherapy, which bypasses CT simulation and prospective planning, offers an opportunity to markedly shorten the interval from consultation to treatment and expand access to timely breast cancer care. Building on prior feasibility work,...

Toward Universal Dose Prediction: A Site-Agnostic Deep Learning Framework with Strategic Goal Array Integration for IMRT and VMAT Plans
Deep learning (DL)-based dose prediction has become an important component of modern radiotherapy treatment planning. However, most existing approaches depend on site-specific models, necessitating separate training for each anatomical site, which limits scal...
