Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making headlines across the world today. It is helping drive up the stock prices of many companies, inspiring startups, and creating excitement about how it will improve lives. In this article, we review how AI can be used to revolutionize radiation oncology, which relies heavily on computer software and digital data to treat cancer patients using radiation therapy (RT). First, we describe AI and how it functions. Second, we reviewed how AI can have transformative applications in radiation oncology to improve accuracy, efficiency, and precision across (1) treatment planning, (2) segmentation, (3) motion management, (4) quality assurance, (5) personalized treatment, (6) treatment response, and (7) tumor position. Finally, we conclude by describing potential solutions for challenges around data, education, regulation, and security across the rapidly advancing landscape of AI in radiation oncology.
