PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-BASED DECISION SUPPORT TO IMPROVE HEAD AND NECK RADIOTHERAPY PLAN QUALITY

Prospective study of artificial intelligence-based decision support to improve head and neck radiotherapy plan quality

Background and purpose: Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) planning for head and neck cancer is a complex process.While the lowest achievable dose for each individual organ-at-risk (OAR) is unknown a priori, artificial intelligence (AI) holds promise as a tool to accurately estimate the expected dose distribution for OARs.We prospectively inve

Large-scale atmospheric circulation biases and changes in global climate model simulations and their importance for climate change in Central Europe

The quality of global sea level pressure patterns has been assessed for simulations by 23 coupled climate models.Most models showed high pattern correlations.With respect to the explained spatial variance, many models showed serious large-scale deficiencies, especially at mid-latitudes.Five models performed well at all latitudes and for each month
