28 Reducing contouring time of organs at risk in the thoracic and pelvic regions with innovative contouring software

Introduction. Inverse planning requires delineating a large number of Organs at Risk (OAR) which is a time-consuming process in radiotherapy. In Centre L éon Bérard (CLB), our team uses MonacoSim for more than 10 years and has a real expertise with the available tools. MiM Maestro (MiMSoftware) and Syngo.via (Siemens) were recently purchased and the associated new features (auto-contouring atlases, advanced contouring tools) were evaluated. The obj ective of this study is to evaluate the saving of time allowed by these new tools for OAR contouring in thoracic and in pelvic regions.
