Abstract
Background and purpose Segmentation of intra-prostatic urethra for dose assessment from planning CT may help explaining urinary toxicity in prostate cancer radiotherapy. This work sought to: i) propose an automatic method for urethra segmentation in CT, ii) compare it with previously proposed surrogate models and iii) quantify the dose received by the urethra in patients treated with IMRT. Materials and methods A weighted multi-atlas-based...
