Study Findings on Radiation Oncology Detailed by Researchers at Department of Medical Physics (Automated plan generation for prostate radiotherapy patients using deep learning and scripted optimization).

Researchers at the Department of Medical Physics have developed an automated workflow for generating treatment plans for prostate radiotherapy patients using deep learning models and scripted optimization. The study aimed to streamline the time-intensive task of treatment planning by creating a 'single-click' workflow within a commercial treatment planning system. Results showed that the automatically generated treatment plans were comparable to clinical plans, demonstrating the potential for automated plan generation in radiation oncology. The research was published in Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology and can be accessed for free online. [Extracted from the article]
