Centre-specific autonomous treatment plans for prostate brachytherapy using cGANs.

Purpose: In low-dose-rate prostate brachytherapy (LDR-PB), treatment planning is the process of determining the arrangement of implantable radioactive sources that radiates the prostate while sparing healthy surrounding tissues. Currently, these plans are prepared manually by experts incorporating the centre's planning style and guidelines. In this article, we develop a novel framework that can learn a centre's planning strategy and automatically reproduce rapid clinically acceptable plans.
