DoseBridge model advances proton therapy dose prediction

Researchers have developed DoseBridge, a novel denoising diffusion bridge model designed for predicting radiation doses in lung intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT). Unlike previous models that primarily relied on CT images, DoseBridge incorporates beam geometry information through a spatially aligned beam mask. Evaluated on 52 lung cancer patients, the model demonstrated superior performance in dose prediction accuracy and similarity metrics compared to existing deep-learning approaches. The findings suggest DoseBridge could serve as a valuable planning prior for lung IMPT, though further validation on larger patient cohorts is recommended. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and personalized radiation therapy planning, improving patient outcomes in cancer treatment.
