I worked on an autocontouring model but we could not get very high accuracy for it to be adopted commercially. The algorithm would work for some organs but would totally freak-out on the others. And if the anatomy was out of norm then it would not work at all. This was 5 years ago, I see Siemens [0] has a similar tool. I remember shadowing a dosimetrist contouring all the Organs-At-Risk (OAR) and it took about 3-4 hours to contour one CT image of thoracic region. Do you know how much better the autocontouring tools have become?

Segmenting algorithms is massively improved from 5 years ago. How much the actual SOTA is used on the work floor though is always a hit and miss.

Agreed, and from what I understand radiation oncology treatment planning has benefited from this.
