Deep learning-enabled MRI-only photon and proton therapy treatment planning for paediatric abdominal tumours.

CONCLUSION: The deep learning-based model generated accurate sCT from planning T1w- and T2w-MR images. Most dosimetric differences were within clinically acceptable criteria for photon and proton radiotherapy, demonstrating the feasibility of an MRI-only workflow for paediatric patients with abdominal tumours.
