Abstract:
Adaptive radiation therapy (ART) aims to adjust the treatment plan based on anatomical and/or functional changes assessed based on frequent images acquired during the treatment course. Despite the appealing advantages, clinical implementations of ART, especially on-line ART, have been limited due to its complexity and lack of efficient and robust software tools in almost every step of the process. The rapid advances of artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-based technologies hold great promise for ART. This session will start with the current clinical ART workflows and its clinical challenges, then will discuss the latest AI-based development & clinical applications in each aspect of the ART workflow, including AI/deep learning (DL) based auto-segmentation; AI-based tools for auto-planning, secondary dose verification, plan check and
patient-specific QA. Advanced development accounting for treatment response (as a feedback), including AI and data mining for outcome-driven radiation treatment planning; treatment response-based on delta radiomics for ART, and automated ART decision making frameworks built from deep learning neural networks will be also presented.
