Volumetric and dosimetric impact of MRI in delineation of gross tumor volume of non-spinal vertebral metastases treated with stereotactic ablative radiation therapy.

CONCLUSION: This study supports MRI fusion for GTV and OAR delineation for non-spinal metastasis. Our study showed that the dosimetric analysis is vital for observer variation studies and the addition of the MR data set is significant to improve the confidence of Stereotactic treatments.
