Bridging AI & Oncology

A Northwestern University Practicum Project

Our Mission

RadOncAI is designed to help Radiation Oncology residents prepare for their oral board examinations. By simulating realistic case discussions, we provide a safe, low-stakes environment for trainees to practice their diagnostic reasoning and management planning.


How It Works

This application utilizes a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture. Unlike standard chatbots, our system retrieves context from verified Radiation Oncology guidelines before generating an examiner response.

  • Frontend: AngularJS & Bootstrap
  • Backend: Node.js & Express
  • AI Model: OpenAI OSS, Llama 3.2 70B

Under the Hood

When you submit an answer, the system analyzes your response against NCCN guidelines and generates a follow-up question tailored to your specific management plan, mimicking a real examiner's adaptability.
