abstract = {To investigate the feasibility and accuracy of proton dose
calculations with artificial neural networks (ANN) in
challenging 3D anatomies.A novel proton dose calculation
approach was designed based on the application of a long
short-term memory (LSTM) network. It processes the 3D
geometry as a sequence of two-dimensional (2D) computed
tomography slices and outputs a corresponding sequence of
(2D) slices that forms the 3D dose distribution. The general
accuracy of the approach is investigated in comparison to
Monte Carlo reference simulations and pencil beam dose
calculations. We consider both artificial phantom geometries
and clinically realistic lung cases for three different
pencil beam energies.For artificial phantom cases, the
trained LSTM model achieved a $98:57\%$ γ -index pass rate
$([1\%,$ 3mm]) in comparison to MC simulations for a pencil
beam with initial energy 104:25MeV. For a lung patient case,
we observe pass rates of $98:56\%,$ $97:74\%,$ and $94:51\%$
for an initial energy of 67:85MeV, 104:25MeV, and 134:68MeV,
respectively. Applying the LSTM dose calculation on patient
cases that were fully excluded from the training process
yields an average - γ index pass rate of $97:85\%.LSTM$
networks are well suited for proton dose calculation tasks.
Further research, especially regarding model generalization
and computational performance in comparison to established
dose calculation methods, is warranted.},
