X-ray emissions were evaluated for variations in tissue density, elemental composition, thickness, and depth. The emitted X-ray doses were divided into 100 segments for detailed analysis. These data were then processed using an optimized Bi-LSTM neural network. This approach enabled precise segmentation and analysis of the X-ray data, improving tumor detection accuracy. Results showed significant differences in X-ray emission patterns between normal and tumor tissues. Tumor tissues exhibited distinct signatures, which were effectively captured and analyzed by the Bi-LSTM model. The model distinguished tissue types based on density, composition, thickness, and depth (1–5 cm).

To assess how much the other healthy organs could be affected by the brachytherapy process, the rates of radiation doses are estimated not only for the target organ, namely the prostate, but for some other organs in the near area as well.
