Delineation of whole heart and substructures in thoracic radiation therapy: National guidelines and contouring atlas by the danish multidisciplinary cancer groups.

CONCLUSION: National guidelines for contouring the heart and cardiac substructures were developed across relevant Danish Multidisciplinary Cancer Groups, where RT dose to the heart is of concern. The inter-observer contour overlap was best for the heart and chambers and decreased for smaller structures. PMID: 32544606 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
