Radiotherapy generates a wealth of medical image data: In Denmark in 2021, a total of 241.000 radiation treatments (fractions) were delivered in 19.000 treatment courses. The aim of DESIRE is to make these data available for data science. We will do that by launching projects and initiatives within the areas below.
