Fluence Map Prediction with Deep Learning: A Transformer-based Approach

arXiv — cs.CV•Thursday, November 13, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The recent study on fluence map prediction in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) highlights a transformative approach using a deep learning framework based on a 3D Swin-UNETR network. By training on 99 prostate IMRT cases, the model demonstrated impressive performance metrics, including an average R^2 of 0.95 and a gamma passing rate of 85%. This method allows for fully automated and inverse-free fluence map predictions directly from anatomical inputs, significantly enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of treatment planning. The model's predictions were evaluated against clinical plans, showing no significant differences in dose-volume histogram (DVH) parameters, thereby confirming its clinical viability. This innovation not only accelerates the planning process but also ensures that tumor coverage is maximized while minimizing exposure to healthy tissues, which is crucial for improving patient outcomes in radiation therapy.

Rethinking Saliency Maps: A Cognitive Human Aligned Taxonomy and Evaluation Framework for Explanations
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
The article discusses the limitations of saliency maps used in deep learning for visual explanations. It highlights the lack of consensus on their purpose and alignment with user queries, which affects their evaluation and utility. To address this, the authors propose the Reference-Frame × Granularity (RFxG) taxonomy, which categorizes saliency explanations based on two axes: Reference-Frame, distinguishing between pointwise and contrastive explanations, and Granularity, ranging from fine-grained to coarse-grained interpretations. This framework aims to improve the evaluation metrics for salie…
