🎯 Problem: Wrong level spine treatment in medicine is a significant safety risk (counting/labeling correct vertebra is error prone, and some ppl have variant # of vertebrae).

🤖 Solution: We developed and prospectively implemented a #AI quality assurance tool into a #radiotherapy clinical workflow to check for wrong level spine targeting as an assistive technology (think lane departure assist in cars) and caught rare errors before they reached the patient, improving patient safety.
