•Convolution neural network (CNN) predicts high resolution dose distribution.•Proposed CNN predicts high resolution dose distribution faster.•Proposed CNN predicts accurate dose even in inhomogeneity region. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of using convolutional neural networks to pre...
