A cardiac contouring atlas for radiotherapy
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The heart is a complex anatomical organ and contouring the cardiac substructures is challenging. This study presents a reproducible method for contouring left ventricular and coronary arterial segments on radiotherapy CT-planning scans. MATERIAL AND METHODS Segments were defined from cardiology models and agreed by two cardiologists. Reference atlas contours were deline...
متن کاملRecommendation for a contouring method and atlas of organs at risk in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients receiving intensity-modulated radiotherapy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To recommend contouring methods and atlas of organs at risk (OARs) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients receiving intensity-modulated radiotherapy, in order to help reach a consensus on interpretations of OARs delineation. METHODS AND MATERIALS Two to four contouring methods for the middle ear, inner ear, temporal lobe, parotid gland and spinal cord were identifi...
متن کاملOptimal number of atlases and label fusion for automatic multi-atlas-based brachial plexus contouring in radiotherapy treatment planning.
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to define the optimal number of atlases for automatic multi-atlas-based brachial plexus (BP) segmentation and to compare Simultaneous Truth and Performance Level Estimation (STAPLE) label fusion with Patch label fusion using the ADMIRE® software. The accuracy of the autosegmentations was measured by comparing all of the generated autosegmentations with the ana...
متن کاملAuto-contouring the Prostate for Online Adaptive Radiotherapy
Among all the organs under cancer treatment, prostate is a very important one in male pelvic region but very difficult to segment, due to the poor contrast of 3D CT images, invisible boundaries between the prostate and its neighboring organs (e.g. bladder, rectum), and artifacts produced by prostate seeds etc. Furthermore, the same patient’s organ conditions (e.g. size, shape and location) can ...
متن کاملAssessment of Multiple Atlas-Based Segmentation in Prostate Bed Contouring
Dice similarity coefficients (DSC) of single best matching (SBM) and multiple best matching (MBM) prostate bed automated atlas-based segmentation (AABS) contours were compared to an expert panel gold standard. DSC scores improved with MBM in bladder (0.73-0.82) and penile bulb (0.40-0.54), with no improvement in other organs. Categories: Radiation Oncology, Urology, Oncology
