Precision radiotherapy via information integration of expert human knowledge and AI recommendation to optimize clinical decision making.

In the precision medicine era, there is a growing need for precision radiotherapy where the planned radiation dose needs to be optimally determined by considering a myriad of patient-specific information in order to ensure treatment efficacy. Existing artificial-intelligence (AI) methods can recommend radiation dose prescriptions within the scope of this available information. However, treating physicians may not fully entrust the AI's recommended prescriptions due to known limitations or at instances when the AI recommendation may go beyond physicians' current knowledge.
