Functieomschrijving
Job DescriptionBrachytherapy is a radiotherapy modality employing a radioactive source that is guided through the tumor via applicators and implanted hollow catheters.
This therapy is highly effective for gynecological tumors, but time and resource intensive.The long durations (9 hours including hours for treatment preparation) come at a high physical and psychological burden for the patients.
With the AI-solutions that will be developed in this project we aim at significant reductions in treatment preparation time, while obtaining operator-independent high quality results.
This will enhance patient experience and outcomes. It will lessen the resource burden in healthcare, facing personnel and capacity shortages. Concurrently, more complex treatments in lower-resources countries can be provided, where access to such care can be difficult.
In each of the daily brachytherapy procedures an MR- or CT-scan is acquired with the applicator and catheters in place.
The tumor, the radio-sensitive organs at risk, the applied applicator and the needles are then manually segmented for development of the treatment plan that describes how long the radioactive source should reside in each position in the tumor.
Aim of this project is to to develop deep learning solutions for automating all segmentations and the treatment plan development.
The project team consists of clinicians treating gynecological tumors, medical physicists, radiation technologists, software engineer, a mathematician, the PostDoc to be hired, a PhD candidate to be hired and master student(s).
