Clarke, E, Howells, R, Beasley, M et al. (1 more author) (2020) Restricted bowel loop contouring: Improving efficiency in radiotherapy contouring for abdomino-pelvic Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR). Clinical and Translational Radiation Oncology, 24. pp. 60-64. ISSN 2405-6308
Abstract
We present a time-saving alternative to individual bowel loop delineation for abdomino-pelvic Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy. Here, individual bowel loop contouring is only performed within a 3 cm circumferential and 2 cm superio-inferior expansion of the PTV. A bowel bag structure represents distal bowel. No relevant doses are ‘missed’ with this time-saving strategy.
