Framework for the quantitative assessment of adaptive radiation therapy protocols.

CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that centers should establish ground truth replan criteria to assess current standard of practice ART protocols. In addition, more effective replan flags may be tested and identified according to the proposed framework. Such improvements in ART flagging may contribute to better clinical resource allocation and patient outcome.
