Introduction: The delineation of organs-at-risk and lymph node areas is a crucial step in radiotherapy, but it is time-consuming and associated with substantial user-dependent variability in contouring. Artificial intelligence (AI) appears to be the solution to facilitate and standardize this work. The objective of this study is to compare eight available AI software programs in terms of technical aspects and accuracy for contouring organs-at-risk and lymph node areas with current international contouring recommendations.

Methods: We compared patients treated with BP-DES or DP-DES at our center from 2008 to 2020.
Martin Heidegger's thought deeply influenced both Hans Loewald and Jacques Lacan, the catalyst they seemed to have been waiting for. For Loewald, Heidegger's ontological centrality of time to Being-in-the-World would bridge to Freud's centrality of transference to the analytic process, thereby operationalizing transference as a prism of time. In revealing the interwoven correlatives of present-past-future, how they bootstrap one another phenomenologically, Loewald also revealed a spiral of recursive meaning (in essence, après-coup) that draws us into the future, "the something more" of existence.
