AI Contouring for Radiation Therapy

Let your AI agent handle the tedious outlining of organs and tissues on medical images. Free up hours each week for clinical decisions and patient care.

You spend hours in Eclipse or MIM, clicking through scan slices and tracing structures by hand. As a dosimetrist, you're stuck labeling regions and cross-checking codes in Aria or spreadsheets—knowing every error could impact treatment. The manual grind leaves you exhausted, with less time for your patients.

Automatically identifies and outlines anatomical structures on CT, MRI, PET, and x-ray scans for dosimetrists in radiation oncology.

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In radiation oncology, dosimetrists are responsible for precisely outlining organs and tumors on imaging scans using systems like Eclipse and Aria. This manual process is slow, repetitive, and mentally draining—each case demands careful attention to detail, and errors in labeling or coding can delay treatment planning. Relying on hand-drawn contours and manual entry wastes valuable time and increases the risk of mistakes that impact patient safety.

Time wasted

2-3 hours/week

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

Money lost

$7,000-$10,500/year

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

If you keep ignoring it

If you keep doing this by hand, you risk treatment delays, mislabeling structures, and increased staff burnout. Missed deadlines can lead to rescheduled appointments and compromised care quality.

Agent skill set

What this agent knows how to do

Anatomical Structure Detection

Scans CT, MRI, PET, and x-ray images to identify the bladder, rectum, prostate, and other key regions for radiation planning.

Multi-Modality Outlining

Generates editable contours across different imaging modalities, allowing direct comparison between MRI and CT scans.

Standardized Coding

Applies TG-263 and department-specific codes to each outlined structure, reducing manual entry in Aria.

Export-Ready DICOM Sets

Prepares labeled structure sets in DICOM RT format for direct upload to Eclipse or RayStation.

Cross-Modality Alignment

Aligns and overlays outlines from multiple scans to ensure consistency in treatment planning.

AI Agent FAQ

Yes. The agent supports CT, MRI, PET, and x-ray images. You can specify the modality for each patient case, and it adapts its outlining methods accordingly.

You receive editable contours in your preferred planning system, such as Eclipse or RayStation. Final review and any necessary adjustments remain your responsibility before approval.

The agent exports labeled structures in DICOM RT format, which you can import directly into Aria, Eclipse, or RayStation. Automated API integration is available for supported systems.

The agent uses advanced deep learning models trained on thousands of cases to ensure high accuracy. However, clinical review is always required to confirm and adjust outlines as needed.

All imaging data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3 and is never stored after processing. The agent complies with HIPAA and departmental privacy protocols.

Yes, the agent is designed for both routine and complex anatomical structures. For highly unusual cases, you may need to supplement the agent's output with manual edits.
