Assessing ChatGPT for clinical decision-making in radiation oncology, with open-ended questions and images.

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: This study assesses the practicality and correctness of ChatGPT-4 and 4O's answers to clinical inquiries in radiation oncology, and evaluates ChatGPT-4O for staging NPC cases with MR images.

Comprehensive Clinical Usability-Oriented Contour Quality Evaluation for Deep Learning Auto-segmentation: Combining Multiple Quantitative Metrics Through Machine Learning.

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: The current commonly used metrics for evaluating the quality of auto-segmented contours have limitations and do not always reflect the clinical usefulness of the contours. This work aims to develop a novel contour quality classification (CQC...

Custom-Trained Deep Learning-Based Auto-Segmentation for Male Pelvic Iterative CBCT on C-Arm Linear Accelerators.

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the clinical applicability of a commercial artificial intelligence-driven deep learning auto-segmentation (DLAS) tool on enhanced iterative cone beam computed tomography (iCBCT) acquisitions ...

Framework for Radiation Oncology Department-wide Evaluation and Implementation of Commercial Artificial Intelligence Autocontouring.

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence (AI)-based autocontouring in radiation oncology has potential benefits such as standardization and time savings. However, commercial AI solutions require careful evaluation before clinical integration. We developed a ...

Unlocking the Power of ChatGPT, Artificial Intelligence, and Large Language Models: Practical Suggestions for Radiation Oncologists.

Practical radiation oncology
Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), such as generative AI and large language models (LLMs), have generated significant excitement about the potential of AI to revolutionize our lives, work, and interaction with technology. This article e...

First Report On Physician Assessment and Clinical Acceptability of Custom-Retrained Artificial Intelligence Models for Clinical Target Volume and Organs-at-Risk Auto-Delineation for Postprostatectomy Patients.

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: To assess the clinical acceptability of a commercial deep-learning-based auto-segmentation (DLAS) prostate model that was retrained using institutional data for delineation of the clinical target volume (CTV) and organs-at-risk (OARs) for po...

Deep Learning-Based Dose Prediction for Automated, Individualized Quality Assurance of Head and Neck Radiation Therapy Plans.

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: This study aimed to use deep learning-based dose prediction to assess head and neck (HN) plan quality and identify suboptimal plans.

The Effect of Salvage Radiation Therapy on Survival, Functional Outcomes, and Quality of Life in Men with Persistent Prostate-specific Antigen After Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: Which Patient Benefits More?

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of salvage radiation therapy (sRT) on survival, functional outcomes, and quality of life in men with persistent prostate-specific antigen (PSA >0.1 ng/mL) after a robot-assisted radical prosta...

Simple Python Module for Conversions Between DICOM Images and Radiation Therapy Structures, Masks, and Prediction Arrays.

Practical radiation oncology
Deep learning is becoming increasingly popular and available to new users, particularly in the medical field. Deep learning image segmentation, outcome analysis, and generators rely on presentation of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (D...

Clinical Evaluation of Deep Learning and Atlas-Based Auto-Contouring of Bladder and Rectum for Prostate Radiation Therapy.

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: Auto-contouring may reduce workload, interobserver variation, and time associated with manual contouring of organs at risk. Manual contouring remains the standard due in part to uncertainty around the time and workload savings after accounti...
