Abstract:

This review explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in interventional radiotherapy (IRT), emphasizing its potential to streamline workflows and enhance patient care. Through a systematic analysis of 78 relevant papers spanning from 2002 to 2024, we identified significant advancements in contouring, treatment planning, outcome prediction, and quality assurance. AI-driven approaches offer promise in reducing procedural times, personalizing treatments, and improving treatment outcomes for oncological patients. However, challenges such as clinical validation and quality assurance protocols persist. Nonetheless, AI presents a transformative opportunity to optimize IRT and meet evolving patient needs.

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
