A step closer to true human-AI synergy: This study shows how integrating human feedback into AI planning tools enhances treatment planning, reducing hotspots while preserving clinical quality. Further integration of AI as a complement, not a replacement. #AI #MedPhys #Radonc shorturl.at/5DHlT
Loving how @bsky.app is the new place for positive #latelatetoyshow Christmas vibes.
Exciting news from #Google Research: they're releasing foundational health models as open-weight models! This gives others a strong base to train for their own needs, reducing #bias and improving performance on local datasets. Hope more follow their lead! #AI #Health shorturl.at/zQaPQ

Fully automated #radiotherapy planning: progress meets skepticism. This study from the Physics #ESTRO workshop '23 shows #AI can handle prostate cancer planning with minimal edits, yet trust in automation remains low. A promising future,if confidence can catch up to capability. tinyurl.com/mwpcmv3s
Fully automated radiotherapy treatment planning: A scan to plan challenge
Over the past decade, tools for automation of various sub-tasks in radiotherapy planning have been introduced, such as auto-contouring and auto-planni…

Interesting paper I read today re: automated RT breast planning: ➪ ML-based system predicts ideal fluence maps. ➪ Automated plans match clinical quality, cuts planning time & allows for personalised fine-tuning. ➪ Supports planners reaching optimal planning solution. tinyurl.com/Scaop

Paper for today's reading: Scoping paper on uncertainty quantification in #Radiotherapy Key takehomes: - Current focus is heavily towards #AI auto-contouring - Must also look at other areas in RT workflow e.g AI planning/dose prediction for balence #RadOnc #Medphys tinyurl.com/GreenJournalAI
Published in the Green Journal this year: A joint ESTRO and AAPM guideline for integrating AI models in RT. Key Takehomes: - Best practices for AI model development & validation - Clinical implementation strategies & QA - practical examples and resources 👉 bit.ly/3KtpimR #AI #Radonc #radiotherapy
This was great. I found a lot of people I used to follow who weren't on starter packs. h/t @flodebarre.bsky.social Also like that bluesky lets you share a custom app password instead of needing to log in everywhere.

🚀 Thrilled to join #bluesky! With an influx of peers, passionate professionals, and curious minds, I’m hopeful it will become the space we’ve needed. So far, it's proving very promising for supporting scientific discourse and debate! Here’s to making it count! #Science #Community #MedPhys #RadOnc
Please reply to be added to this MedPhysSky starter pack. go.bsky.app/MSj5A6d
Really interesting bibliometic analysis of #AI in #Radiotherapy by Lv et al, looks like we are certainly part an exciting time in Radiotherapy and haven't reached the peak yet... ro-journal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
Delighted to share that we’re now over halfway through recruitment for the OPEN Trial!🎆🎉 OPEN Compares standard face masks vs. open masks for #HeadAndNeckCancer radiotherapy!🇮🇪 ➡️ Over 120 pts recruited since Jan 2024 ➡️Inclusive IITs = pts engagement leading to increased accruals in rad onc trials!📈
What can we learn from automation in aviation that can be applied to the increasing number of automated processes in Radiation Oncology? Delighted to have our paper published exploring the human factors involved. #AI #Automation #RadiationOncology #Aviation www.thegreenjournal.com/article/S016...
Is full-automation in radiotherapy treatment planning ready for take off?
