Artificial intelligence in radiotherapy: Where do we stand?
Keywords:
Artificial intelligence, Radiotherapy, Treatment planningAbstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been a topic of great curiosity in the medical field. This paper reviews the use of AI in radiotherapy especially in patient imaging, treatment planning, quality assurance and radiation dose delivery. The review highly anticipates the future use for AI in various areas of radiotherapy. However, in view of certain limitations in terms of availability and security of using big data, we may not be ready to use AI primarily in radiotherapy at the moment.
