Organ-at-risk contouring education in the era of AI-assisted practice: Insights from an Australian undergraduate radiation therapy program
Introduction The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools into radiation therapy workflows offers significant opportunities to improve efficiency by automating tasks such as contouring organs at risk (OARs). However, this also raises concerns regarding future practitioners' ability to critically evaluate auto-generated contours. This educational perspective examines how OAR contouring education can be integrated into undergraduate radiation therapy programs to support the development of foundational con…
AI tools integrated into radiation therapy workflows can improve efficiency by automating organ-at-risk contouring tasks.
AI auto-contouring raises concerns that future radiation therapy practitioners may have reduced ability to critically evaluate auto-generated contours.
Findings are based on a single undergraduate program, limiting generalizability beyond the authors' institution.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0863 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
