Fast and accurate dose predictions for novel radiotherapy treatments in heterogeneous phantoms using conditional 3D-UNet generative adversarial networks

Purpose: Novel radiotherapy techniques like synchrotron X-ray microbeam radiation therapy (MRT), require fast dose distribution predictions that are accurate at the sub-mm level, especially close to ti [...] full Monte Carlo simulation. Because for future applications in treatment planning the model is required to predict the energy depositions inside phantoms or patients, which have not been used for training [...] encourages to apply and further develop the model for the use in MRT treatment planning, which requires fast and accurate predictions with sub-mm resolutions.
