Abstract
Purpose: Recently, the availability of online medical resources for radiation oncologists and trainees has significantly expanded, alongside the development of numerous artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools. This review evaluates the impact of web-based clinical decision-making tools in the clinical practice of radiation oncology.
Material and methods: We searched databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus, using keywords related to web-based clinical decision-making tools and radiation oncology, adhering to PRISMA guidelines.
Results: Out of 2161 identified manuscripts, 70 were ultimately included in our study. These papers all supported the evidence that web-based tools can be transversally integrated into multiple radiation oncology fields, with online applications available for dose and clinical calculations, staging and other multipurpose intents. Specifically, the possible benefit of web-based nomograms for educational purposes was investigated in 35 of the evaluated manuscripts. As regards to the applications of digital and AI-based tools to treatment planning, diagnosis, treatment strategy selection and follow-up adoption, a total of 35 articles were selected. More specifically, 19 articles investigated the role of these tools in heterogeneous cancer types, while nine and seven articles were related to breast and head & neck cancers, respectively.
Conclusions: Our analysis suggests that employing web-based and AI tools offers promising potential to enhance the personalization of cancer treatment.
期刊介绍：
Felice Perussia founded La radiologia medica in 1914. It is a peer-reviewed journal and serves as the official journal of the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology (SIRM). The primary purpose of the journal is to disseminate information related to Radiology, especially advancements in diagnostic imaging and related disciplines. La radiologia medica welcomes original research on both fundamental and clinical aspects of modern radiology, with a particular focus on diagnostic and interventional imaging techniques. It also covers topics such as radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, radiobiology, health physics, and artificial intelligence in the context of clinical implications. The journal includes various types of contributions such as original articles, review articles, editorials, short reports, and letters to the editor. With an esteemed Editorial Board and a selection of insightful reports, the journal is an indispensable resource for radiologists and professionals in related fields. Ultimately, La radiologia medica aims to serve as a platform for international collaboration and knowledge sharing within the radiological community.
