Abstract

The embodiments described relate to a method for predicting the toxicity of a drug administered to a patient. The method includes: accessing at least one computed tomography (CT) torso slice associated with a patient; performing a labeling process of at least one CT scan using a trained artificial intelligence (AI) segmentation model; determining at least one body composition parameter based on at least one labeled CT slice; receiving at least one demographic parameter associated with a patient; receiving at least one dose parameter associated with a drug administered to the patient; and using a trained AI predictive model to generate an output based on at least one body composition parameter, at least one demographic parameter, and at least one dose parameter, the output corresponding to the predicted toxicity of the drug to the patient.
