Recent Advancements of Artificial Intelligence in Particle Therapy

We are in a golden age of progress the field artificial intelligence (AI). Radiotherapy is perfectly suited to benefit from AI enhance accuracy and efficiency due its technology-intensive nature direct human–machine interactions. While large amount research have recently been published photon therapy, applications specifically targeted for particle therapy remain scarcely investigated. There two distinct differences between therapy: 1) beam interaction physics (photons versus charged particles) 2) delivery mode (e.g., IMRT/VMAT pencil scanning). Consequently, different strategies deployment required these radiotherapy modalities. In this article, we aim present comprehensive survey recent literature exclusively focusing on AI-powered therapy. Six major aspects included: treatment planning; dose calculation; 3) range verification; 4) image guidance; 5) quality assurance; 6) adaptive replanning. A number perspectives, as well potential challenges common pitfalls, also discussed.
