Popis: Advancements in radiotherapy auto-segmentation necessitate reliable and efficient workflows. Therefore, a standardized fully automatic workflow was developed for three commercially available deep learning-based auto-segmentation applications and compared to a manual workflow for safety and efficiency. The workflow underwent safety evaluation with failure mode and effects analysis. Notably, eight failure modes were reduced, including seven with severity factors ≥7, indicating the effect on patients, and two with Risk Priority Number value >125, which assesses relative risk level. Efficiency, measured by mouse clicks, showed zero clicks with the automatic workflow. This automation illustrated improvement in both safety and efficiency of workflow.
