Practical contouring guidelines with an MR-based atlas of brainstem structures involved in radiation-induced nausea and vomiting.

CONCLUSIONS: This RINV-atlas was feasible and reproducible for the delineation of RINV structures on planning CT using fused MRI. It may be used to prospectively assess dose-volume relationship for RINV structures and occurrence of nausea vomiting during intracranial or head and neck irradiation.
