Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions is rapidly changing the way radiation therapy tasks, traditionally relying on human skills, are approached by enabling fast automation. This evolution represents a paradigm shift in all aspects of the profession, particularly for treatment planning applications, opening up opportunities but also causing concerns for the future of the multidisciplinary team. In Australia, radiation therapists (RTs), largely responsible for both treatment planning and delivery, are discussing the impact of the introduction of AI and the potential developments in the future of their role. As medical physicists, who are part of the multidisciplinary team, in this editorial we reflect on the considerations of RTs, and on the implications of this transition to AI.

人工智能与放射治疗规划的未来：澳大利亚放射治疗师做好准备。

人工智能（AI）解决方案的使用正在迅速改变传统上依赖人类技能的放射治疗任务的方式，实现快速自动化。这种演变代表着该行业各个方面的范式转变，尤其是在治疗计划应用方面，既带来了机遇，也引发了对多学科团队未来的担忧。在澳大利亚，主要负责治疗规划和实施的放射治疗师（RTs）正在讨论引入人工智能的影响以及他们未来角色的潜在发展。作为多学科团队中的医学物理学家，我们在这篇社论中反思了放射治疗师的考虑因素，以及向人工智能过渡的影响。

期刊介绍： Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences (JMRS) is an international and multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal that accepts manuscripts related to medical imaging / diagnostic radiography, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, medical ultrasound / sonography, and the complementary disciplines of medical physics, radiology, radiation oncology, nursing, psychology and sociology. Manuscripts may take the form of: original articles, review articles, commentary articles, technical evaluations, case series and case studies. JMRS promotes excellence in international medical radiation science by the publication of contemporary and advanced research that encourages the adoption of the best clinical, scientific and educational practices in international communities. JMRS is the official professional journal of the Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (ASMIRT) and the New Zealand Institute of Medical Radiation Technology (NZIMRT).
