Automatic catheter digitization in breast brachytherapy
Our pipeline is the first to automate the digitization of catheters for breast brachytherapy, as well as the first to generate dwell positions and predict corresponding AI-based absorbed dose to medium based on automatically digitized catheters. The automatically digitized catheters are in excellent agreement with the manually digitized ones while more accurately reflecting their true anatomical shape.
