Abstract:

In this lecture we’ll cover the steps that are involved in procuring and commissioning (commercial) AI tools. A general overview of these steps is presented with a more in depth application to the AI tools most used in radiotherapy: auto segmentation, automated treatment planning and synthetic CT. Relevant metrics for evaluation of these AI tools are covered. Examples of problems that can occur when implementing these tools in the clinic are also provided.

Can ChatGPT help our professional efforts in brachytherapy?

Stefanie Corradini

Abstract:

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare has opened new avenues for improving patient care and treatment outcomes. Among these technologies, ChatGPT, an advanced language model, has shown potential in augmenting various aspects of healthcare, including brachytherapy. This talk explores the role of ChatGPT in facilitating patient-clinician communication and patient education in brachytherapy. Given the complexity and specificity of brachytherapy treatments, effective communication and comprehensive patient education are pivotal for optimal treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction. This talk assesses the capabilities of ChatGPT in translating complex medical terminologies and treatment procedures into patient-friendly language, thereby enhancing the patient's understanding of their treatment pathway. Furthermore, it evaluates the efficiency of ChatGPT in answering patient queries, reducing the communication gap between clinicians and patients. The model's adaptability in providing personalized education materials based on the patient's condition, treatment stage, and informational needs will also be investigated. By conducting a series of qualitative and quantitative analyses, including patient satisfaction surveys, this research provides insights into the effectiveness, limitations, and potential areas for the integration of ChatGPT in brachytherapy. The findings suggest that ChatGPT can significantly contribute to improving patient-clinician interactions and the educational journey of patients undergoing brachytherapy, leading to enhanced treatment adherence and patient empowerment. However, it also emphasizes the importance of human oversight in monitoring AI-driven communications to ensure accuracy and ethical considerations.
