Transformer‐Based Deep Learning Integrating Multi‐Regional MRI and Clinical Features for Predicting Biochemical Recurrence After Radical Prostatectomy: A Multicenter Study

Existing deep learning models for predicting biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy often ignore the biological context beyond the tumor. This study aims to develop and validate a transformer‐based model combining multi‐regional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features and clinical data to improve BC...

End‐to‐end differentiable volumetric modulated arc therapy optimization via computation graph–driven automatic differentiation

Conventional volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) optimization relies on gradient‐based methods in which analytical gradients must be explicitly derived for each objective function and machine constraint. This dedicated mathematical derivation imposes substantial barriers to extending the optimization framework with...

Clinical adoption of radiobiological models and artificial intelligence in radiotherapy treatment planning: a cross-sectional practice survey

Introduction: Radiobiological models optimising tumour control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) underpin effective radiotherapy treatment planning; however, real-world adoption – particularly in low-and middle-income country (LMIC) settings and for plan evaluation – remains poorly cha...
