Contouring atlas
Consideration of dose limits for organs at risk of thoracic radiotherapy: atlas for lung, proximal bronchial tree, esophagus, spinal cord, ribs, and brachial plexus
Kong FM, Ritter T, Quint DJ, et al.
DoseLab summary
A thoracic organ-at-risk contouring atlas with discussion of dose limits, covering the lung, proximal bronchial tree, esophagus, spinal cord, ribs and brachial plexus. A published letter in response discusses esophageal delineation.
Why this is useful
A thoracic OAR contouring atlas covering the six structures in its title — a practical first stop when learning to contour chest OARs consistently.
