MRI-based contouring of functional sub-structures of the lower urinary tract in gynaecological radiotherapy.

CONCLUSIONS: This study proposed relevant urinary sub-structures and dose points and showed that standardized contouring is reproducible. Trigone reference dimensions are robust despite different bladder filling and treatment conditions. Standardized contouring and reference points may improve understanding of urinary morbidity.
