Site-Agnostic 3D Dose Distribution Prediction with Deep Learning Neural Networks.

Typically, the current dose prediction models are limited to small amounts of data and require re-training for a specific site, often leading to suboptimal performance. We propose a site-agnostic, 3D dose distribution prediction model using deep learning that can leverage data from any treatment site, thus increasing the total data available to train the model. Applying our proposed model to a new target treatment site requires only a brief fine-tuning of the model to the new data and involves no modifications to the model input channels or its parameters. Thus, it can be efficiently adapted to a different treatment site, even with a small training dataset.
