Uncertainty-aware MR-based CT synthesis for robust proton therapy planning of brain tumour

Proton therapy, a state-of-the-art technology in radiotherapy, is garnering increasing attention. Its exceptional characteristic of high-dose conformity underscores the critical importance of accurately representing the patient's geometry in proton therapy planning. Consequently, obtaining the most up-to-date geometric model of the patient through frequent daily imaging is essential to harness the full potential of proton physics. Meanwhile, MR-based radiotherapy has emerged as an auspicious approach, marked by the commercialization of the MR-Linac technology and its active clinical implementation.
