Use of a novel atlas for muscles of mastication to reduce inter observer variability in head and neck radiotherapy contouring
Abstract
Purpose/objective(s)Trismus is caused by injury to the masticatory muscles resulting from cancer or its treatment. Contouring these muscles to reduce dose and radiation related trismus can be problematic due to interobserver variability. This study aimed to evaluate the reduction in interobserver variability achievable with a new contouring atlas.Materials/methodsThe atlas included: medial and lateral pterygoids (MP, LP), masseter (M) and...
