Contouring atlas
Recommendation for a contouring method and atlas of organs at risk in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients receiving intensity-modulated radiotherapy
Sun Y, Yu XL, Luo W, et al.
DoseLab summary
Compares published contouring methods for the temporal lobe, middle and inner ear, parotid gland and spinal cord in nasopharynx cancer, recommends one method for each (Table 3), and provides a CT–MRI atlas of 33 organs at risk. Citation checked against Crossref; the temporal lobe and spinal cord recommendations were read in the open-access full text.
Why this is useful
An open-access organ-at-risk atlas for nasopharynx cancer, with CT boundaries for the temporal lobe, which the Brouwer 2015 head and neck consensus leaves out.
