Grant received in 2023

DCCC has funded 200.000 DKK to the project.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming an important tool in generating high-quality radiotherapy in dynamic and resource space departments. Several Danish research groups are developing specifi c AI tools to improve the consistency and eff ectiveness of contouring, treatment planning or quality assurance. How can this new knowledge help all radiotherapy patients in Denmark or worldwide?

This networking group will host workshops for researchers and clinicians to share ideas and challenges within AI tools in radiotherapy. Using the national infrastructure from DCCC RT, AI algorithms will be made available for all oncologists across Denmark. This will ensure that expert knowledge from specifi c research groups will quickly reach cancer patients in all the Danish centres. These models will be validated through the site-specifi c DMCG, which already has validation datasets for most organs at risk.
