  • Episode #11 | AAPM MP3.0 Webinar Series on Transformational Medical Physics
    What is the “intelligence” of Artificial Intelligence in radiation therapy?
    AI is expected to engage all aspects of healthcare. How is that engagement is (re)shaping radiation oncology, what value is expected to be gained by that engagement, and what should be the role of a MP3.0 physicist in that process? This webinar highlights effective models of physics-informed AI use and presence in radiation oncology.
