The Future of Virtual Reality in Radiation Oncology

Advances in high-performance computing technology continue to deeply affect the practice of medicine. In radiation oncology we have seen this evolution firsthand as contouring has become completely digital, dose calculation has evolved from approximated 2-dimensional (2D) calculations to 3-dimensional (3D) physics-based simulation, and techniques such as inverse-planned intensity modulated radiation therapy have been introduced to the clinic. The current revolution in machine learning and artificial intelligence has the promise to make even deeper changes to how we work with computers to perform our daily clinical tasks.
