人工智能复制放射治疗流程 2021-04-14
With artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the world’s first “all-in-one” radiotherapy solution was introduced at the Pudong branch of the Shanghai Cancer Center, shortening the treatment process from days to just over 20 minutes. The new process has been used on a dozen colorectal patients with good results.
Previously, the pre-radiotherapy preparation process comprised seven steps, which took three to 15 days. Patients had to go to a hospital at least three or four times and use different machines during the procedure. The waiting time for each visit lasted for hours.
For the convenience of patients and to streamline the process, Shanghai Cancer Center teamed up with United Imaging, a Shanghai-based medical equipment company, to develop the world’s first machine that combines positioning CT scanning and radiotherapy through AI technology. Patients no longer have to visit different rooms for different procedure.
