Reference Image Automation for Radiation Therapy

Let your AI agent handle the tedious work of generating and transferring reference images and localization markers, so you can focus on clinical decisions and patient care.

You spend hours each week in Eclipse or ARIA exporting images, manually placing markers, and uploading files between systems. As a dosimetrist, every extra step in Excel or email increases the risk of errors and delays. The pressure to get it right is relentless, and the backlog never seems to shrink.

An AI agent that automates reference image creation and marker placement for dosimetrists using image-guided radiation therapy systems.

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In hospital radiation oncology departments, dosimetrists are stuck exporting DICOM images from Eclipse, placing anatomical markers by hand, and uploading files to ARIA or MOSAIQ. These repetitive tasks add up to hours each week with no direct clinical value. Small mistakes in file matching or marker placement can cause treatment delays or compromise patient safety. The manual process is draining and distracts from patient-focused work.

Time wasted

1.5-2 hours/week

Every week, burned on work an AI agent handles in minutes.

Money lost

$7,500-$10,000/year

In salary, missed revenue, and operational drag — annually.

If you keep ignoring it

Delays in treatment sessions, increased risk of misaligned radiation, and ongoing staff burnout. Over time, these issues can lead to patient safety incidents and higher turnover among dosimetrists.
