Deep learning enables fast and accurate proton dose calculations

20 Jun 2022 Tami Freeman

Steve Jiang describes how deep learning can help meet the key requirements of dose calculations for proton therapy

Dose conversion
Dose conversion: A deep learning model predicts the Monte Carlo (MC) dose distribution from the pencil beam (PB) dose, for a prostate cancer case. (a) PB dose distribution; (b) converted dose distribution; (c) absolute difference between the PB and the MC dose distribution; and (d) absolute dose difference between the converted and the MC dose distribution.
