New artificial intelligence technology combines machine learning and EHR data to deliver personalized radiation treatment to cancer patients.
Artificial intelligence (AI) developed at the Cleveland Clinic uses machine learning to combine medical scans and electronic health records (EHR) generating personalized radiation therapy doses for cancer patients.
Traditional radiation therapy is delivered to patients uniformly. Dosing guidelines do not take specific information about a patient’s individual risk factors or tumor characteristics into consideration when recommending treatment.
