A deep learning model for translating CT to ventilation imaging: analysis of accuracy and impact on functional avoidance radiotherapy planning

ConclusionUsing deep-learning techniques, CTVISyn generated from planning CT exhibited a moderate-to-high correlation with CTVI4DCT. The CTVISyn-guided plans were comparable to the CTVI4DCT-guided plans, effectively reducing pulmonary toxicity in patients while maintaining acceptable plan quality. Further prospective trials are needed to validate these findings.
