Application of dose-volume histogram prediction in biologically related models for nasopharyngeal carcinomas treatment planning

Abstract Purpose In this study, we employed a gated recurrent unit (GRU)-based recurrent neural network (RNN) using dosimetric information induced by individual beam to predict the dose-volume histogram (DVH) and investigated the feasibility and usefulness of this method in biologically related mode...
