Figure 1. C-DoTA architectures. Left: Vanilla DoTA, with a convolutional encoder passing the normalized BEV-CT as a sequence of 2D images to the transformer block, together with the normalised energy E, used for dose prediction (C-DoTA-d). Right: The architecture for predicting α and β parameters is expanded by an additional convolutional encoder and transformer with the predicted dose as an input. The output of both transformers for CT and predicted dose is finally processed by a third transformer block using cross attention.

Fig. 1. Experimental setup for the X-ray computed tomography polymer gel dosimeter (XCT-PGD). (a) Schematic diagram of the gel dosimeter in a cylindrical container placed inside an absorber. (b) Photograph of the actual setup on the treatment couch. The gel dosimeter is placed in an absorber and positioned using external lasers so that the center of its sensitive region aligns with the mechanical isocenter. The dosimeter is then secured in place with adhesive tape.

Figure 2 shows the changes in the number of people treated per year at each facility. The trends in most facilities were similar, with the greatest decline observed in 2021 and the greatest improvement in 2022. At HIBMC, patient numbers declined earlier than at other facilities because prostate cancer patients were not treated at this center. At Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology, which treats large numbers of patients from outside the region where it is located, patient numbers notably declined due to the significant impact of travel restrictions imposed by the state of emergency.
