ContourAId’s research has been recognized with the 2nd Place Best Student Paper Award at IEEE EMBC 2023 (Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference) in Sydney, Australia. The award-winning paper, “ASTRA: Atomic Surface Transformations for Radiotherapy quality Assurance,” introduces innovative methods for automated quality control in radiation therapy planning.

ASTRA represents a key component of ContourAId’s quality assurance technology, providing rapid and reliable assessment of contour quality through geometric surface analysis. The method enables real-time feedback during treatment planning, helping clinicians identify and correct potential issues before they impact patient care.

IEEE EMBC is one of the largest biomedical engineering conferences worldwide, and this recognition from the international research community validates the scientific rigor and clinical relevance of ContourAId’s approach to quality assurance.

The paper was presented in an oral session, providing an opportunity to share our findings with leading researchers and clinicians in the field.
