High dynamic range (HDR) video offers a more realistic visual experience than standard dynamic range (SDR) video, while introducing new challenges to both compression and transmission. Rate control is an effective technology to overcome these challenges, and ensure optimal HDR video delivery. However, the rate control algorithm in the latest video coding standard, versatile video coding (VVC), is tailored to SDR videos, and does not produce well coding results when encoding HDR videos. To address this problem, a data-driven λ -domain rate control algorithm is proposed for VVC HDR intra frames in this paper. First, the coding characteristics of HDR intra coding are analyzed, and a piecewise R- λ model is proposed to accurately determine the correlation between the rate (R) and the Lagrange parameter λ for HDR intra frames. Then, to optimize bit allocation at the coding tree unit (CTU)-level, a wavelet-based residual neural network (WRNN) is developed to accurately predict the parameters of the piecewise R- λ model for each CTU. Third, a large-scale HDR dataset is established for training WRNN, which facilitates the applications of deep learning in HDR intra coding. Extensive experimental results show that our proposed HDR intra frame rate control algorithm achieves superior coding results than the state-of-the-art algorithms.

Background: Poor needle placement in prostate high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) results in sub-optimal dosimetry and mentally predicting these effects during HDR-BT is difficult, creating a barrier to widespread availability of high-quality prostate HDR-BT.
Purpose: To provide earlier feedback on needle implantation quality, we trained machine learning models to predict 2D dosimetry for prostate HDR-BT on axial TRUS images.
Methods And Materials: Clinical treatment plans from 248 prostate HDR-BT patients were retrospectively collected and randomly split 80/20 for training/testing.

Purpose: The present study evaluated the dosimetric impact and compared the dose variations between the advanced collapsed cone engine (Task Group 186) and Task Group 43 plans for cervical cancer using tandem and ovoid applicators.
Material And Methods: Thirty cervical cancer patients underwent iridium-192 (Ir) high-dose-rate (HDR) intra-cavitary brachytherapy using tandem and ovoid applicator. Original treatment plans for all patients were created using TG-43 dose calculation formalism.

Purpose: For cervical cancer patients, intra-cavitary brachytherapy (ICBT) is utilized with various dose-rate systems, such as low-dose-rate (LDR), high-dose-rate (HDR), and pulsed-dose-rate (PDR). This retrospective analysis aimed to compare the therapeutic outcomes of cervical cancer patients treated with either LDR-, HDR-, or PDR-ICBT.
Material And Methods: A total of 613 patients were treated with pelvic external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), followed by either LDR- (271 patients), HDR- (259 patients), or PDR- (83 patients) ICBT.

Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) refers to methods that allow a radiation therapy plan to be adjusted based on images obtained during the treatment. Using cutting-edge imaging methods such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET), ART can adjust the treatment plan in response to observed changes in anatomy and even biology while the patient is receiving treatment. The backbone of ART is intensity-modulated RT (IMRT), which permits better sparing of normal critical organs while still delivering a uniform dose to target tumor volume.
