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

Promising results from Lauren Conway on 5-point open face masks for #H&N patients using #SGRT:
- Fewer patients needing anti-anxiety meds
- Highlights the importance of the #SLRON OPEN trial which evaluates both 3- and 5-point masks
Towards greater comfort and more options for our patients!

Looking forward to attending the SGRT Annual European Meeting today in London.
Particularly interested in:
- How others use #SGRT for open #H&N RT facemasks
- How others use SGRT to measure intra- inter-fraction motion
- Different ROI approaches/strategies

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

Article from ESTRO meets ASIA 24: Accumulated Dose in Clinical Practice – are we there yet?
Dose mapping in RT is advancing but still faces challenges like DIR uncertainties and limited tools. Collaboration and better communication are key to progress.

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.

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
