Kick-off POP-AART lab: new AI-strategies for improving radiotherapy

Wednesday 20 April 2022 15:30 - 17:00

On April 20, 2022, the Netherlands Cancer Institute, University of Amsterdam (UvA), and Elekta will officially launch their partnership for Online Personalized AI-driven Adaptive RT. Within this POP-AART lab they collaborate on the development of new AI strategies for the further improvement of precision radiotherapy. This concerns the personalization of treatment by improving the quality of imaging used during treatment, predicting and accounting for changes in the patient’s anatomy over time, and automatically adapting radiation delivery each time a patient is treated.
