Automated delineation of the clinical target volume using anatomically constrained 3D expansion of the gross tumor volume.

CONCLUSIONS: Barrier structures for CTV definition can be auto-delineated with outstanding precision using a CNN. An algorithm for automated calculation of the CTV by 3D expansion of the GTV while respecting anatomical barriers has been developed. It shows good agreement with manual CTV definition for brain tumors. PMID: 32114264 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
