Abstract
Background and purpose The planning process in radiotherapy (RT) typically involves the acquisition of a unique set of CT images – and eventually of functional images – which is used for delineation of target volumes (TV) and organs at risk (OAR) and for dose calculation. Restricting the delineation and dose calculation solely on pre-treatment images is an oversimplification as it is only a snapshot of the patient’s anatomy. The objectives of...
