Application of Artificial Intelligence Technology in Radiotherapy to Delineate Endangered Organs
Abstract
With the development of science and technology, artificial intelligence technology has been tried to be applied to all aspects of tumor radiotherapy, including respiratory motion prediction during simulated positioning, delineation of dangerous organs and tumor targets, and prediction of dose distribution. At present, clinical radiotherapy is mainly used in the automatic delineation of endangered organs, and artificial intelligence has demonstrated high accuracy in the delineation of dangerous organs, but there are also certain limitations. This article reviews the application and shortcomings of artificial systems in the automatic delineation of dangerous organs.
