Table 1 The clinical indices comparison for forty test patients with the unit of Gy (mean ± standard deviation). p1: significant difference between ground truth and predicted dose by shared encoder network. p2: significant difference between ground truth and predicted fluence generated dose. Results with P < 0.05 indicated statistical significance and were labeled with *
