@marslain Currently focused on updating tooling we already use for autoplanning. Early days but very excited about the direction.

@marslain @bcherny Yep. Lots of plumbing but its working.

Two figures. An unknown path ahead.

Five years in, and the course has crystallized around one question: who writes the field guide?

Training clinical scientists to answer that.

Talking about what's "Hype" and what's actually "Hip" when it comes to #LLMs in #radiology

With @DaniaDaye, Hana Haver, and @RafeMcbeth

@JakobWasserthal Great idea. Recently built something like this for our in-house models. Will ask around and see if any lab members want to contribute

[Rafe McBeth @RafeMcbeth]

@parmita Same. We talk about this often in Radiation Oncology. The physics error bars are much much tighter than the biology error bars and it makes us sad that clinical ground truth is uhhh.. fuzzy
