Abstract Objective. This study explores the use of neural networks (NNs) as surrogate models for Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations in predicting dose-averaged linear energy transfer (LET d ) protons proton-beam therapy based on planned dose distribution and patient anatomy form computed tomography (CT) images. As LET is associated with variability relative biological effectiveness (RBE) protons, we also evaluate implications using NN predictions normal tissue complication probability (NTCP)...
