is once again through to the french open women s final, where she will play jasmine paolini on saturday. paolini beat 17 year old russian mirra andreeva in straight sets. swiatek beat coco gauff, despite the american saving three match points in the second set. the world number one eventually closed out victory 6 2, 6 4. she could join monica seles and justine henin as the only women to win three straight french open women s titles during the open era. just before we go, the latest match in cricket s t20 world cup has gone down to a thrilling finish. the united states and pakistan both ened up on the same total after their 20 overs, so it s gone down to a super over. the us made 18 from their over. pakistan are just about to start their over. an exciting fiinish, and that s all the sport for now. you are watching the context. it is time for our our new weekly segment, ai decoded. welcome to ai decoded, our regular weekly appointment with all things artificial intellligence. i ....
Of the movement in three dimensions of that target volume. as soon as the target volume that you want to radiate goes outside of that preset window, you can see that radiation beam is automatically turned off. are we going to be solely relying 100% on the ai when it comes to the treatment? or is there some sort of safety mechanism that we have if something goes wrong? yeah, that s a great question. there are always trained operators sitting at this control desk. they re the radiographers. they can be the physicists depending on the complexity of the treatment. so you don t100% rely on it, but what s so cool is that from an efficiency point of view, i showed you the set up in the other room where we set the patient up. you can automate really large parts of the workflow, and that s our intention in the future. what is the actual impact in terms of treatment times with this technology? well, one of the most exciting impacts is the confidence it gives to the clinician and the people deliv ....
Scanning that you are about to see track the tumour movement and then if you saw in the headline there potentially take the time to treat a patient down and therefore have a huge impact on waiting lists. super exciting. huge impact on waiting lists. super excitina. , ., ., huge impact on waiting lists. super excitina. , ., ., one in two people get cancer in their lifetime, and around half of those will be treated by radiotherapy as part of their treatment. i m here at elekta to understand how radiation therapy works and look at their game changing ai technology. so, dee, you re the managing director. can you show me how conventional radiotherapy works? of course, priya. and what you feel about it? so i m going tojump on this machine. just mind your head as you go back down. so imagine if you will you re the patient. the first thing we do is make sure that you re lying in the same position every day. mm hm. and you can stay still pretty well. what we ve got here is a linear accelerat ....
Where your radiation beam is painting your dose of real time, you can have the confidence to shrink the margin around the target. traditionally, radiation therapy has margins around the target, margins of safety, margins of error. yeah. if you can shrink that, you can reduce side effects. interestingly as well, if you have confidence about where the radiation beam is going, you can escalate the dose. so imagine, for example, prostate treatments that previously were treated in upwards of 30 treatments every day. imagine with that level of technology available to you and that confidence, you could actually reduce the number of treatments down to five or even two. what is the future of using ai technology in radiation therapy? i think it s about improving automation, improving efficiency, improving the confidence to deliver higher doses in fewer fractions so we can reduce waiting lists, which is particularly important in the uk right now, but also across the world because we want to give ....
