Ai Integration In Radiotherapy Workflows: Emerging Trends And Best Practices, Vi T. Dinh
Ai Integration In Radiotherapy Workflows: Emerging Trends And Best Practices, Vi T. Dinh
Radiologic Sciences
Purpose To synthesize current evidence on artificial intelligence (AI) integration in radiotherapy workflows, identify emerging application trends, and examine best practices for clinical implementation.
Method A structured literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar to identify peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2025. Eligible studies evaluated AI applications in radiotherapy workflows, including segmentation, treatment planning, and clinical decision-making. Findings were synthesized using thematic analysis.
Results Three primary themes emerged: (a) AI-based segmentation improved contouring efficiency and reduced interobserver variability; (b) AI-assisted treatment planning enhanced dose prediction consistency and workflow reproducibility; and (c) workflow integration supported clinical decision-making …
Impact Of Mr-Linac Technology On Prostate Cancer Treatment Outcomes, Anhdiep P. Tran
Impact Of Mr-Linac Technology On Prostate Cancer Treatment Outcomes, Anhdiep P. Tran
Radiologic Sciences
Purpose To evaluate the impact of magnetic resonance-guided linear accelerator (MR-Linac) technology on treatment precision, clinical outcomes, and operational challenges in prostate cancer radiotherapy.
Method A systematic literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar to identify peer-reviewed studies published between 2018 and 2026. Eligible studies evaluated MR-Linac technology for prostate cancer and reported outcomes related to treatment precision, toxicity, workflow, and clinical effectiveness.
Results Three primary themes emerged: (a) improved treatment precision through superior soft tissue visualization, real-time target tracking, and adaptive radiotherapy; (b) improved clinical outcomes characterized by reduced radiation exposure to organs at risk, decreased …
Assault Vs. Assistance: Radiologic Technologist Decision-Making When Fall-Risk Patients Decline Assistance, Pamela O'Dowd
Assault Vs. Assistance: Radiologic Technologist Decision-Making When Fall-Risk Patients Decline Assistance, Pamela O'Dowd
Radiologic Sciences
Purpose To explore how radiologic technologists experience and respond to situations involving fall-risk patients who decline assistance during imaging procedures.
Method A cross-sectional survey design was used to collect data from practicing radiologic technologists recruited through the American Society of Radiologic Technologists. Descriptive statistics, including frequencies and percentages, were analyzed using SPSS to summarize participant responses, and a thematic analysis was conducted on open-ended responses.
Results A total of 87 respondents completed the survey. Results indicated that encounters with fall-risk patients who refuse assistance are common in clinical imaging practice. Sixty-three (72.4%) technologists reported having experienced situations in which a …
Magnetic Resonance In Pregnancy: Safety Considerations, Contrast Risks, And Imaging Modality Alternatives, Lizzette Valdez
Magnetic Resonance In Pregnancy: Safety Considerations, Contrast Risks, And Imaging Modality Alternatives, Lizzette Valdez
Radiologic Sciences
Purpose To examine the safety of magnetic resonance (MR) during pregnancy by evaluating fetal outcomes, contrast agent risks, and the comparative roles of MR, ultrasound, and computed tomography (CT) in prenatal imaging.
Method A literature review was conducted using PubMed and peer-reviewed radiology journals to identify studies evaluating MR safety during pregnancy. The review examined fetal and neonatal outcomes following prenatal MR exposure, trimester-specific imaging considerations, risks associated with gadolinium-based contrast agents, and comparisons among MR, ultrasound, and CT.
Results Three primary themes emerged: (a) noncontrast MR demonstrated a strong safety profile with no consistent association with adverse fetal or …
