CT-RTSTRUCT-RTDOSE-RTPLAN Sets of Head and Neck Cancers Treated with Identical Prescriptions using IMRT: An Open Dataset for Deep Learning in Treatment Planning

This collection includes data from 211 patients who presented with head and neck cancer and underwent treatment with external beam radiation therapy at a single institution utilizing 6 megavolts (MV) Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) delivered via a linear accelerator. All patients received identical prescriptions of 70 Gray (Gy) in 33 fractions for the primary planning target volume (PTV), with additional sub-targets (PTV 54 Gy, PTV 56 Gy, PTV 57 Gy, PTV 60 Gy, PTV 63 Gy, PTV 66 Gy) optionally included or excluded.

This dataset contains for each patient the complete radiotherapy treatment in DICOM format, including the planning computed tomography (CT) images, expert-defined radiotherapy structures (RTSTRUCT), radiotherapy plan (RTPLAN), and the calculated treatment dose (RTDOSE). To facilitate efficient data extraction, 26 high-priority organ-at-risk (OAR) contours were standardized by renaming them in the RTSTRUCT file, ensuring consistent nomenclature across the dataset.
