| Abstract | Purpose The aim was to assess the feasibility of online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) for bladder cancer using a focal boost by focusing on the quality of the online treatment plan and automatic target delineation, duration of the workflow and performance in the presence of fiducial markers for tumor bed localization. Methods Fifteen patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer received daily oART with Cone Beam CT (CBCT), artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted automatic delineation of the daily anatomy and online plan reoptimization. The bladder and pelvic lymph nodes received a total dose of 40 Gy in 20 fractions, the tumor received an additional simultaneously integrated boost (SIB) of 15 Gy. The dose distribution of the reference plan was calculated for the daily anatomy, i.e. the scheduled plan. Simultaneously, a reoptimization of the plan was performed i.e. the adaptive plan. The target coverage and V95% outside the target were evaluated for both plans. The need for manual adjustments of the GTV delineation, the duration of the workflow and the influence of fiducial markers were assessed. Results All 300 adaptive plans met the requirement of the CTV-coverage V95%≥98% for both the boost (55 Gy) and elective volume (40 Gy). For the scheduled plans the CTV-coverage was 53.5% and 98.5%, respectively. Significantly less tissue outside the targets received 55 Gy in case of the adaptive plans as compared to the scheduled plans. Manual corrections of the GTV were performed in 67% of the sessions. In 96% of these corrections the GTV was enlarged and resulted in a median improvement of 1% for the target coverage. The median on-couch time was 22 min. A third of the session time consisted of reoptimization of the treatment plan. Fiducial markers were visible on the CBCTs and aided the tumor localization. Conclusions AI-driven CBCT-guided oART aided by fiducial markers is feasible for bladder cancer radiotherapy treatment including a SIB. The quality of the adaptive plans met the clinical requirements and fiducial markers were visible enabling consistent daily tumor localization. Improved automatic delineation to lower the need for manual corrections and faster reoptimization would result in shorter session time. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
