Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create an AI clinical decision support system that predicts radiation doses to specific parts of the mandible using CT scans before planning radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.
- Using data from 106 patients, the AI model demonstrated impressive predictive capabilities, with a positive predictive value of 0.95 and a negative predictive value of 0.88, and showed strong correlation with estimates from an experienced oncologist.
- The findings indicate that the AI system improves the accuracy of predicting radiation dose to dental structures in patients undergoing radiation therapy, highlighting its potential role in enhancing treatment planning.
