Medical Dosimetrist

AI is poised to impact medical dosimetrists primarily through automation of treatment planning and optimization. AI algorithms, particularly those leveraging machine learning and computer vision, can assist in generating initial treatment plans, contouring organs at risk, and optimizing dose distributions. However, the final plan selection, verification, and patient interaction will likely remain under the purview of human dosimetrists for the foreseeable future.
