AutoContour Model RADAC V3 is an AI-enabled software designed to automatically contour anatomical structures in CT and MR images to assist radiation treatment planners in preparing radiation therapy plans more efficiently. It uses deep learning models to generate contours of organs and tumors, allowing clinicians to review and adjust as needed, which streamlines the treatment planning process and improves accuracy.
AutoContour is intended to assist radiation treatment planners in contouring and reviewing structures within medical images in preparation for radiation therapy treatment planning.
The device is a software system utilizing DICOM-compliant CT and MR images as input and applies machine learning-based contouring models trained on extensive datasets of adult patients. It includes a .NET client, a local agent service monitoring datasets, and a cloud-based contouring server. Outputs are DICOM RT Structure Sets usable in radiation therapy planning systems.
Validation involved training and testing on independent CT and MR datasets, including publicly available records. Dice Similarity Coefficients (DSC) were used to measure accuracy, with mean DSC exceeding specified thresholds (0.8 for large, 0.65 for medium, and 0.5 for small structures). External clinical reviews rated the contours highly, averaging 4.4 to 4.5 out of 5, confirming clinical appropriateness. The software met all functional and safety requirements without the need for clinical trials.
