Evaluating a new AI tool for radiation therapy planning
Evaluation of a Novel Auto Segmentation Algorithm for Normal Structure Delineation in Radiation Treatment Planning
This study tests a new AI tool that helps medical staff at Mayo Clinic plan radiation therapy by automatically outlining important areas on CT scans to see if it makes their job easier and more accurate.

What this trial studies
This observational study assesses the effectiveness of a novel artificial intelligence algorithm designed for auto-segmentation of CT scans in radiation treatment planning. Participants, who are clinical staff at Mayo Clinic locations, will complete surveys to provide feedback on the algorithm's performance and functionality. The primary objective is to gather insights on how well the AI tool delineates normal structures during the planning process for radiation therapy. This study aims to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of radiation treatment planning through advanced technology.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are clinical staff employed at Mayo Clinic facilities who are involved in normal tissue segmentation for radiation therapy.
Not a fit: Patients who are not employed at Mayo Clinic or who cannot complete the study surveys will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the precision of radiation therapy planning, leading to better treatment outcomes for patients with cancer.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using AI for medical imaging and segmentation, indicating potential success for this novel approach.
