A study of nonuniform CTV to PTV margin expansion incorporating both rotational and translational uncertainties.

CONCLUSION: Nonuniform margin algorithm could avoid excessive compensation for the CTV boundary points near isocenter. This method could be used for clinical margin determination and might be useful for the protection of risk organs. PMID: 31793203 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
