Artificial Intelligence in Radiation Therapy

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop on Connectomics in Artificial Intelligence in Radiation Therapy, AIRT 2019, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2019 in Shenzhen, China, in October 2019.

The 20 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. The papers discuss the state of radiation therapy, the state of AI and related technologies, and hope to find a pathway to revolutionizing the field to ultimately improve cancer patient outcome and quality of life.
