Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Modern radiotherapy practice relies on multiple approaches for verification of patient positioning. All of these techniques require experienced radiotherapists who understand the anatomical landmarks and the limitations of the used verification techniques. We explore the feasibility of using Artificial intelligence in assisted patient positions using acquired port images (PFIs) and digital reconstructed radiographs (DRRs).
