“Integration of AI and Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT)”
- One prominent trend in the global medical linear accelerator market is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) to enhance treatment precision and efficiency
- These innovations enable real-time imaging and adaptive treatment planning, allowing clinicians to adjust radiation delivery based on tumor movement and anatomical changes during therapy
- For instance, IGRT systems paired with AI algorithms can track tumor shifts caused by breathing or weight changes, ensuring that radiation precisely targets cancerous tissue while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy structures
- AI also supports treatment planning by automating contouring and dose calculations, significantly reducing planning time and improving consistency across treatments
- This trend is transforming radiotherapy by making it more personalized and accurate, leading to better patient outcomes and driving the adoption of next-generation linear accelerators across oncology centers worldwide
