Abstract

PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence (AI) based commercial software can be used to automatically delineate organs at risk (OAR), with potential for efficiency savings in the radiotherapy treatment planning pathway, and reduction of inter- and intra-observer variability. There has been little research investigating gross failure rates and failure modes of such systems.
