Intended Use

AutoContour is intended to assist radiation treatment planners in contouring and reviewing structures within medical images in preparation for radiation therapy treatment planning.

Technology

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.

Performance

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.
