Chinese scientists have realized automated tumor target contouring on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pictures of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, which is empowered by artificial intelligence (AI) technology and can help improve the efficiency and accuracy in radiation therapy of the tumor.

To explore the clinical value of the research, two months after the test, the eight radiation oncologists were asked to correct the AI automated contouring results, which is a process called AI assisted contouring, and it was found to help improve the accuracy of contouring by the doctors.

The research result indicates AI-assisted contouring helps raise the accuracy in contouring and allows less experienced doctors to acquire the accuracy exhibited by experts.
