Diffusion Transformer framework enhances proton therapy dose denoising

Researchers have developed a diffusion-transformer framework to denoise low-statistics Monte Carlo simulations used in proton therapy. This method significantly reduces computation time while maintaining accuracy in dose calculations, which is crucial for online treatment adaptations. The framework demonstrated strong performance across various cancer types, generalizing well beyond its initial training data. AI

IMPACT This research could accelerate treatment planning in proton therapy by enabling faster and more accurate dose calculations.

    Generalizable dose denoising using diffusion transformer framework for pencil beam scanning proton therapy

    arXiv:2506.04467v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Background and purpose: Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) enables conformal dose delivery for head and neck (H&amp;N) cancers. However, its sensitivity to inter-fractional anatomical changes motivates online adapta…
