... Studies exploring their utility suggest that patients value the immediacy of responses, the ability to pose questions multiple times without feeling guilty, and the non-judgmental tone. In these investigations, participants reported improved recall of basic information about side effects and were more likely to adhere to recommended screening intervals [29][30][31][32][33]. ...

... While some technological advancements are still far from clinical application, others have been quickly adopted in the field of radiation oncology. This special issue features three reviews that highlight recent advancements in RT technologies, specifically particle therapy [1], FLASH RT [2], and artificial intelligence (AI) [3]. These articles also discuss the future prospects of these technologies. ...

... To investigate the correlation between the complexity of the given VMAT plans and the deliverability of the VMAT plans (quantified by GPR), we calculated several plan complexity metrics using the open-source algorithm, available on GitHub (22) (http://github.com/AurelienCD/DeepHybrid Learning_RadiotherapyQA_Depository_ManuscriptID_ Diagnostics), which has been employed for previous studies (23)(24)(25). This work computed six plan complexity indices as follows: small aperture score (SAS), leaf travel (LT), modulation complexity score for VMAT plans (MCSv), combination of LT and MCSv (LTMCS), aperture area variability (AAV), and leaf sequence variability (LSV). ...

... The EORTC Core Quality of Life (EORTC QLQ-C30) questionnaire is designed to measure the physical, psychological, and social functions of cancer patients. It comprises multi-item scales and single items [29]. This questionnaire evaluates the life quality of cancer patients and includes nine multi-item scales: five functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), three symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea and vomiting), and a global health status scale. ...

... Unexpected infarction caused by branch occlusions or hemodynamically relevant constrictions, and insufficient aneurysm occlusion can be detected in postoperative radiologic imagine even in the most experienced centers. Han HJ et al. demonstrated overall incidence of postclipping cerebral infarction was 16.7% based analysis of 605 cases with unruptured intracranial aneurysms 13 . So any refinement of the techniques is desirable. ...

... Another benefit of oversizing is diminished risk of aneurysmal endoleak, which might compromise treatment outcomes (40). A key aspect of oversizing is the decreased risk of stent migration Finally, oversizing increases the implant porosity, which might aid in keeping the covered side branches patent and functional (41). A drawback of oversizing observed herein was that this increased porosity was a risk factor for aneurysm occlusion, because of the diminished flow disturbance inside the sac. ...

... Modality conversion involves transforming data from one form to another, which is crucial for enabling AI to mimic human-like sensory integration and interpretation. One example in the field of radiation therapy is the use of DL tools for the generation of synthetic CT images from magnetic resonance images to aid in radiation therapy planning 124 . Transformer-based text, vision, and speech models can facilitate these conversions. ...

... However, as mentioned earlier, while previous studies have demonstrated that the COW's anatomy is associated with the occurrence of intracranial artery aneurysms, investigations specifically addressing the hemodynamic characteristics of the COW, such as shear stress, have been relatively rare. Recently, additional research efforts have been made (12), though the causal relationship remains a subject of ongoing debate (13). ...
