Deep Learning-Based Multi-View Projection Synthesis Approach for Improving the Quality of Sparse-View CBCT in Image-Guided Radiotherapy.

While radiation hazards induced by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) can be reduced by sparse-view sampling, the image quality is inevitably degraded. We propose a deep learning-based multi-view projection synthesis (DLMPS) approach to improve the quality of sparse-view low-dose CBCT images. In the proposed DLMPS approach, linear interpolation was first applied to sparse-view projections and the projections were rearranged into sinograms; these sinograms were processed with a sinogram restoration model and then rearranged back into projections.

Purpose: Conventional radiotherapy (CRT) has limited local control and poses a high risk of severe toxicity in large lung tumors. This study aimed to develop an integrated treatment plan that combines CRT with lattice boost radiotherapy (LRT) and monitors its dosimetric characteristics.
Methods: This study employed cone-beam computed tomography from 115 lung cancer patients to develop a U-Net + + deep learning model for generating synthetic CT (sCT).

Background: Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a common head and neck malignant tumor, which is difficult to treat at the advanced NPC due to its occult and high metastatic potential to the cervical lymph nodes and distant organs. Low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) is increasingly being investigated for potential cancer treatment. When combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors, LDRT has been shown to significantly improve the immune microenvironment of tumors, thereby promote the immune attack on tumor cells.

To evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of iodine-125 low dose-rate brachytherapy (LDR-BT)-based treatment approaches for ≤ cT3 prostate cancer (PC) patients in China, as well as the effects on the PC immune microenvironment. Data was retrospectively collected from 237 patients with ≤ cT3 PC who were treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) or LDR-BT alone or in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), and biochemical progression-free survival (bPFS), prostate cancer-specific survival (PCSS) and overall survival (OS) rates were compared. In 63 cases, PC patients received RP after biopsy, received at least 6 months of ADT before RP, or received LDR-BT and deferred limited transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).

Background: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by surgical resection is the current standard of care for oesophageal cancer (EC) patients. This treatment is associated with a variety of complications, with pneumonia being the most common. We hypothesize that proton radiotherapy (PRT) can significantly reduce the incidence of pneumonia compared to photon radiotherapy (PhRT).
