Using Artificial Intelligence to Deliver Personalized Radiation Therapy
Results from a new study led by Cleveland Clinic andpublished in
Lancet Digital Health
show that an artificial intelligence (AI) framework can provide individualized radiation dose delivery based on data from patient computerized tomography (CT) scans and electronic health records. This AI framework is the first to use medical scans to inform radiation dose delivery, moving the field forward from using generic dose prescriptions to more personalized treatments.
"While highly effective in many clinical settings,
radiotherapy can greatly benefit from
dose delivery
optimization. This framework will help physicians
develop data-driven, personalized dosage schedules that can maximize the likelihood of treatment success and mitigate radiation side effects for patients," says
Mohamed Abazeed, MD, PhD
, practicing radiation oncologist,
Case CCC
member and lead author on the study.

Mirage News - June 14, 2019
The results are especially impressive given that study participants had received multiple earlier treatments for ovarian cancer, and therefore represented an especially hard-to-treat group, trial leaders say.
