Data augmentation is a crucial regularization technique for deep neural networks, particularly in medical imaging tasks with limited data. Deep learning models are highly effective at linearizing features, enabling the alteration of feature semantics through the shifting of latent space representations-an approach known as semantic data augmentation (SDA). The paradigm of SDA involves shifting features in a specified direction.

However, CBCT images often face interference from scatter noise and artifacts, posing a significant challenge when relying solely on CBCT for precise dose calculation and accurate tissue localization. There is an urgent need to enhance the quality of CBCT images, enabling a more practical application in IGRT.

Automated anesthesia promises to enable more precise and personalized anesthetic administration and free anesthesiologists from repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus on the most critical aspects of a patient's surgical care. Current research has typically focused on creating simulated environments from which agents can learn. These approaches have demonstrated good experimental results, but are still far from clinical application.

Recently, deep learning has achieved impressive results in medical image tasks. However, this method usually requires large-scale annotated data, and medical images are expensive to annotate, so it is a challenge to learn efficiently from the limited annotated data. Currently, the two commonly used methods are transfer learning and self-supervised learning.
