Fully automated detection of heart irradiation in cine MV images acquired during breast cancer radiotherapy.

CONCLUSIONS: Automated heart edge detection in cine MV images was proposed, developed and shown to be highly efficient for heart exposure detection in tangential breast fields. It may allow unsupervised surveillance of heart exposure at all tangential breast cancer treatments in a clinic. PMID: 31787350 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
