Mixture of Multicenter Experts in Multimodal AI for Debiased Radiotherapy Target Delineation

The paper introduces a Mixture of Multicenter Experts (MoME) framework that leverages diverse clinical strategies to reduce bias in medical AI without sharing data across institutions. MoME integrates specialized expertise from multiple centers, improving generalizability and adaptability of a multimodal target volume delineation model for prostate cancer radiotherapy. The model, trained with few-shot imaging and clinical notes, outperformed baselines, especially in high inter‑center variability or limited data scenarios, and allows local customization without cross‑institutional data exchange.

Improving Clinical Target Volume Segmentation Accuracy using Anatomical Priors and Active Learning for the AGITG TOPGEAR Clinical Trial

The study explores how adding anatomical priors and active learning can improve the accuracy of deep learning models for segmenting the Clinical Target Volume (CTV) in gastric cancer radiotherapy. Using 100 retrospective CT scans, an nnU‑Net model trained on 10 expert‑contoured cases was enhanced with voxel‑wise anatomical prior maps and iterative active learning over four rounds. The combined approach raised the mean Dice Similarity Coefficient from 0.84 to 0.87, demonstrating that both techniques individually and together improve segmentation performance and generalizability.

Demo: Generative AI helps Radiotherapy Planning with User Preference

The paper presents a generative AI model that predicts 3‑D radiation dose distributions based solely on user‑defined preference settings, allowing planners to balance trade‑offs between organs‑at‑risk and target volumes. This approach offers greater flexibility and personalization compared to traditional deep‑learning models that rely on institutional reference plans. The authors report that their method can outperform the Varian RapidPlan model in adaptability and plan quality in certain scenarios, and it is designed for easy integration with clinical treatment planning systems.

Can Coding Agents Build Robust Baselines? A Skill-Based Approach for Automating the Medical Imaging Model-Development Pipeline

The paper introduces an agentic AI Scientist workflow that automates the entire baseline development process for medical imaging by combining literature-guided reasoning, automated code generation, and hypothesis-driven experimentation. Evaluated on four public benchmarks covering segmentation, classification, and detection, the pipeline consistently improves validation performance, achieving competitive leaderboard results such as 6th place on both PUMA tracks and 31st on MILK10k. The approach also shows strong domain generalization on MIDOG25 across scanners, tumor types, and species, demonstrating that a skill-based, literature-guided agentic workflow can reduce engineering effort without task-specific redesign.

Dose-PlanNet: Physics Based Radiotherapy Dose Prediction with Deep Learning

Dose-PlanNet is a physics-guided 3D deep learning model that predicts radiotherapy dose distributions for prostate cancer, aiming to automate complex treatment planning. In a prospective trial, the model achieved comparable target coverage while slightly reducing target homogeneity, yet it significantly improved high-dose organ‑at‑risk sparing. Automated plans met clinical acceptance criteria in most cases across both moderate hypofraction and stereotactic body radiation therapy arms.

Dose-PlanNet: Physics Based Radiotherapy Dose Prediction with Deep Learning

Dose-PlanNet is a physics-guided 3D deep learning architecture that predicts radiotherapy dose distributions for prostate cancer. In a prospective trial, the model achieved target coverage comparable to clinical plans while slightly reducing target homogeneity, yet it significantly improved high‑dose organ‑at‑risk sparing. Automated plans met clinical acceptance criteria in 11 of 14 Moderate Hypofraction and 9 of 12 SBRT plans, demonstrating that physics-informed deep learning can accelerate radiotherapy workflows without compromising dosimetric quality.
