Progress in the application of digital technology in brachytherapy for malignant tumors in oral and maxillofacial regions
Oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors are particularly emphasized in individualized treatment because of the complex anatomical structure of the area.Brachytherapy has the advantages of having high conformability and uni-form dose distribution and is thus increasingly used in the treatment of oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors.Digital vi-sualization,3D printing,and other digital technologies have been used to facilitate preoperative program design and full dose verification and provide intraoperative guidance for brachytherapy.Artificial intelligence and digital pathology tech-nologies are still in the trial stage but are expected to further optimize the brachytherapy mode,improve the effectiveness,safety,and reliability of treatments,and enhance the quality of life of patients.This paper summarizes the application as-pects of digital technologies in the treatment of oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors with brachytherapy irradiation to provide insights that will facilitate the development of clinical strategies.
