A systematic review of the role of artificial intelligence in automating computed tomography-based adaptive radiotherapy for head and neck cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) may improve treatment quality by monitoring variations in patient anatomy and incorporating them into the treatment plan. This systematic review investigated the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in computed tomography (CT)-based ART for head and neck (H&N) cancer.

Methods

A comprehensive search of main electronic databases was conducted until April 2024. Titles and abstracts were reviewed to evaluate the compliance with inclusion criteria: CT-based imaging for photon ART of H&N patients and AI applications. 17 original retrospective studies with samples sizes ranging from 37 to 239 patients were included. The quality of the studies was evaluated with the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 and the Checklist for Artifici
