Single energy CT-based mass density and relative stopping power estimation for proton therapy using deep learning method

BackgroundThe number of patients undergoing proton therapy has increased in recent years. Current treatment planning systems (TPS) calculate dose maps using three-dimensional (3D) maps of relative stopping power (RSP) and mass density. The patient-specific maps of RSP and mass density were obtained...
