Description
Annamalai Vairavan, Rupsa Bhattacharjee, and Bagyam Raghavan review digital twins in cancer care: virtual copies of a patient's tumor that doctors can test treatments on before touching the patient. The idea came from aerospace engineering and has matured as imaging, gene data, and health records became easier to fuse.
Writing for radiologists, the authors explain how a twin is built and what feeds it, with scan-derived measurements at the center. They survey uses already within reach, from predicting chemotherapy response to planning radiation and warning of side effects. They are candid about the hurdles: uneven data standards, little proof from trials that follow patients forward, bias against underrepresented groups, and unclear rules for software that keeps learning.
