Use of AI advances adaptive radiotherapy for cancer care

Kill the cancerous tissue with radiation therapy and leave the healthy tissue untouched. Save the patient while sparing them as much as possible from treatment side effects. These are simple oncologic goals but executing them can be made difficult because the patient's picture—the literal position of their anatomy—can change daily. That is where technology guided by augmented intelligence (AI) and supervised by physicians and other clinicians at Henry Ford Health can help ease the burdens on patients and give them some precious time back to lead their lives.
