Abstract
There have been many applications and influences of Artificial intelligence (AI) in many sectors and its professionals, that of radiotherapy and the medical physicist is no different. AI and technological advances have necessitated changing roles of medical physicists due to the development of modernized technology with image-guided accessories for the radiotherapy treatment of cancer patients. Given the changing role of medical physicists in ensuring patient safety and optimal care, AI can reshape radiotherapy practice now and in some years to come. Medical physicists' roles in radiotherapy practice have evolved to meet technology for the management of better patient care in the age of modern radiotherapy. This short review provides an insight into the influence of AI on the changing role of medical physicists in each specific chain of the workflow in radiotherapy in which they are involved.
