Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an important role in radiation oncology. One of the most important applications is in radiotherapy physics. In this field, it has improved the automation of radiotherapy plan design and quality control (QC), thereby promoting and ensuring individualized precision treatment. This article reviews the applications and research on AI in the physics of radiotherapy and projects the prospects of AI in the following aspects: radiotherapy plan design, radiotherapy quality assurance, and QC, organs at risk contouring, dose prediction, etc.
