nnDoseNet: Intuitive and flexible deep learning framework to train and evaluate radiotherapy dose prediction models

By offering automated data preprocessing, systematic model training, and robust dose evaluation all within a single framework nnDoseNet reduces the complexity of building and testing dose prediction models. It accommodates diverse prescription doses, organ-at-risk definitions, and hardware configurations, making it a suitable benchmark for multi-institutional research. With its balance of simplicity, flexibility, and performance, nnDoseNet aims to accelerate the development, comparison, and clinical integration of advanced AI-driven dose prediction methods in radiotherapy. Importantly, the nnDoseNet output is a dose prediction, not a clinically deliverable treatment plan. Plan optimization, QA, and clinical approval remain separate steps outside the scope of this work.

Abstract

By offering automated data preprocessing, systematic model training, and robust dose evaluation all within a single framework nnDoseNet reduces the complexity of building and testing dose prediction models. It accommodates diverse prescription doses, organ-at-risk definitions, and hardware configurations, making it a suitable benchmark for multi-institutional research. With its balance of simplicity, flexibility, and performance, nnDoseNet aims to accelerate the development, comparison, and clinical integration of advanced AI-driven dose prediction methods in radiotherapy. Importantly, the nnDoseNet output is a dose prediction, not a clinically deliverable treatment plan. Plan optimization, QA, and clinical approval remain separate steps outside the scope of this work.
