Abstract
INTRODUCTION: New radiotherapy machines such as Halcyon are capable of delivering dose-rate of 600 monitor-units per minute, allowing large numbers of patients treated per day. However, patient-specific quality assurance (QA) is still required, which dramatically decrease machine availability. Innovative artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms could predict QA result based on complexity metrics. However, no AI solution exists for Halcyon machines and the complexity metrics to be used have not been definitively determined. The aim of this study was to develop an AI solution capable of firstly determining the complexity indices to be obtained and secondly predicting patient-specific QA in a routine clinical setting.
