Description
Félix Quinton and co-authors test whether full automation can plan liver radiation therapy safely. Their 2026 study uses scans from ninety patients with liver cancer treated by selective internal radiation. Planning needs MRI and CT scans aligned, with liver and tumour outlined, before doses can be computed.
Automatic alignment matched the semi-automatic routine on the liver but wobbled on tumours. Mixed-modality outlining beat single-modality outlining for tumours. Fully automatic doses drifted from the clinic's values by a modest average amount. Single bad outlines, though, swung one dose estimate wildly. An outline overlap of at least 80 percent kept doses safe, the authors find.
