NRG Oncology Protocol Development Template for Radiation Therapy — Whole Breast: Photon and Proton Therapy
Kainz K, Huang M, Xiao Y, Li XA, Moran JM, et al. · NRG Oncology Medical Physics Subcommittee / Radiation Oncology Committee
DoseLab summary
The NRG Oncology template for the radiation section of a breast trial (photon and proton). It keeps CT as the dose-calculation image, allows MR, contrast CT and nuclear medicine images (such as PET) to refine the targets, and asks that the local accuracy of the registration and the retention of the breast shape be verified.
Why this is useful
How an NRG trial would write the radiation section for breast treatment — CT and MR simulation, additional imaging and how its registration is checked.
