Impact of dosimetric differences between computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) derived target volumes for external beam cervical cancer radiotherapy.

CONCLUSIONS: The dosimetric differences of CT and MRI based contouring variability for this study was small.CT remains the standard imaging modality for volume delineation for these patients. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This is the first study to evaluate the dosimetric implications of imaging modality on target and organ at risk doses in cervical cancer EBRT.
