On Tuesday 21 January at 15:00, Mathis Ersted Rasmussen defends his PhD dissertation entitled "A study of the interaction between human and machine in segmentation for radiotherapy treatment planning".
In his work, Mathis Ersted Rasmussen, has explored how artificial intelligence (AI) can assist oncologists in segmenting healthy tissue and tumors on CT-scans. These segmentations are used for planning of radiotherapy for cancers in head and neck. In the past, segmentation was done manually, which is time consuming and prone to unwanted variation. The main finding of this work is that AI-assistence for the segmentation task reduces time consumption and may increase consistency and quality. In turn, this may contribute to improved patient care.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place at Aarhus University Hospital, Entrance C, Auditorium C114-101 and on Zoom. Please see the press release for more information.
