Artificial intelligence guided physician directive improves head and neck planning quality and practice Uniformity: A prospective study.

ABSTRACT

•AI dose predictor was fully integrated with treatment planning system and used as a physicain decision support tool to improve uniformity of practice.•Model was trained based on our standard of practice, but implemented at the time of expansion with 3 new physicians join the practice.•Phase 1 retrospective evaluation demonstrated the non-uniform practice among 3 MDs and only 52.9% frequency planner can achieve physicians' directives.•Significant improvement in practice uniformity of practice was observed after utilizing AI as DST and 80.4% frequency clinical plan can achieve AI-guided physician directives.
