Software that draws organs and tumours on scans automatically, saving hours per patient and making daily plan adaptation practical.
Deep-learning segmentation of organs at risk and targets (Limbus AI, MIM Software, TheraPanacea, Siemens AI-Rad Companion Organs RT, Varian Ethos and Elekta's ADMIRE, MVision, Carina) is now routine in radiotherapy departments and FDA-cleared for dozens of structures. Target-volume contouring remains physician-reviewed. Online adaptive radiotherapy (Ethos, Unity) depends on it to re-plan in minutes.
Convolutional and transformer networks trained on expert contours segment CT/MR; outputs are edited and approved by clinicians.
Nothing in the corpus depends on this yet.
Dependencies are what this technology cannot be delivered without: manufacturing steps, instruments, software, upstream methods. See its full chain on the map.
One technology page on OnCo cites this paper by its DOI; this record gives the citation a page of its own so a reader can follow it without leaving OnCo. Read the abstract above alongside the citing page listed under Related; the record was created automatically from the Europe PMC entry and its figures have not been checked by hand.
Variation between clinicians in drawing the target is one of the largest errors in radiotherapy and one of the least measured in terms of what it does to patients. The field has studied whether outlines differ far more than whether the differences matter.
