ABSTRACT
Brachytherapy (BT) provides the opportunity to deliver highly potent radiation doses to the tumor, while more effectively sparing the surrounding organs at risk (OAR) due to the proximity of radiation sources to the tumor target and rapid fall-off of the source dose profile. As an important part of radiotherapy for cervical cancer, BT plays an irreplaceable role. The BT process is complex and can be divided into a series of steps. Long time waiting for patients in the state of implantation of the applicator may cause changes in the position of the applicator relative to the tumor and the movement of the OAR. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has made great progress in the medical field. Machine learning and neural network have been widely applied in all aspects of BT, such as implantation of the applicator, image acquisition, segmentation of target area and OAR, reconstruction of the applicator, plan optimization, and treatment delivery, etc. In addition, BT significantly reduces the overall time, improves the homogeneity of operation, and enhances the accuracy of treatment. In this article, the application, development prospects, and challenges of AI in the BT of cervical cancer in recent years were reviewed, aiming to provide novel ideas for the application of AI in BT.
