Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Use of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) for central lung tumors can result in up to a 35% incidence of late pulmonary toxicity. We evaluated an automated scoring method to quantify post-SABR bronchial changes by using artificial intelligence (AI)-based airway segmentation.
