Quantum-enhanced intelligent system for personalized adaptive radiotherapy dose estimation

This research introduces a novel quantum-enhanced intelligent system tailored for personalized adaptive radiotherapy dose estimation. The system efficiently models radiation transport and predicts patient-specific dose distributions by integrating quantum algorithms, deep learning, and Monte Carlo simulations. Quantum-enhanced Monte Carlo simulations, employing algorithms such as Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd (HHL) and Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE), achieve computational speedups of 8-15 times compared to classical methods while maintaining high accuracy. The deep learning architecture leverages convolutional and recurrent neural networks to capture complex anatomical and dosimetric patterns. Validation on simulated datasets demonstrates a 50-70% reduction in mean absolute error and 2-3% improvements in gamma index metrics compared to conventional approaches. Dose-volume histogram analysis further highlights enhanced Dice coefficients and reduced Hausdorff distances. These advancements underscore the potential for precise, efficient, and clinically relevant dose estimations, paving the way for improved outcomes in personalized adaptive radiotherapy.
